Join us in honoring Iowa MS champion, veteran, musician, and author Mark Brown. Mark’s story, filled with candor and courage, echoes a familiar journey of people living with MS. It’s a tale of both frustration and triumph, of grief and gratitude, of loss and gain, and of mistakes and renewal. Mark’s insights inspire all of us to not take anything for granted, and to be champions every day, as we band together to cure MS while empowering people affected by MS to live their best lives.Event Chair
