My name is Mark Howell - and I know a thing or two about overcoming obstacles.
I started off as a collegiate Division I athlete, developing powerful skills that would serve me both on and off the field. I was young, I was healthy, and I was taking on tough competitors like a champ as I navigated life!
And then in 2012, I was diagnosed with Stage 4 Melanoma at 30 years old, just two short weeks after my oldest son was born. My wife Christina and I were in the dark - overwhelmed, and facing unimaginable physical, emotional, and financial obstacles.
Life had thrown me an unexpected curveball, but guess what? I swung back harder! My hometown of Brighton, Michigan rallied around me and lifted me up, becoming the inspiration behind my second chance at life and ultimately, my nonprofit, Fund a Life.
During the battle for my life, I learned a thing or two about resilience, the power of having a mentor (or a few!) by your side, and the sheer awesomeness that comes with being true to yourself and living your most authentic life.
