Paul Walker Foundation Launched by Late Actor’s Daughter Meadow

Paul Walker‘s daughter Meadow is marking the late actor’s 42nd birthday this Saturday with a significant tribute — launching a charitable foundation in her dad’s name.

The 16-year-old announced she’ll be carrying out her father’s passions for ocean and animal protection, in addition to other philanthropic goals, through The Paul Walker Foundation. The “Fast 7” star died in 2013 as the result of a high-speed car wreck.

“Reflecting on my father, I found myself reflecting on his passions. His passion for the ocean, his passion for rescuing animals, his passion for helping people and his passion for spontaneous goodwill,” Meadow said in an Instagram post.

” I wanted to start this foundation because I want to share that piece of him with the world. I want to share that part of him with others. I am tremendously proud.”

On the foundation’s official site, the organization promises “to serve as an enduring light of Paul’s unique spirit,” and that Meadow “is excited to be carrying on his legacy. One of the key ways she plans to meet this challenge is by helping ocean leaders of tomorrow become beacons in the fight to protect our oceans, wildlife, and ourselves.”

A nonprofit founded by Walker himself in 2010 to offer relief in Haiti, Reach Out Worldwide, also marked his birthday by offering speciality T-shirts emblazoned with the phrase, “For Paul.”
