October Awareness Talks in Mount Pleasant, Iowa

Lisa Clark (NPC)

Howard and Susie Clark of Mount Pleasant, Iowa, will be making two presentations to raise awareness of Niemann-Pick Disease during October Awareness Month. Susie will first address her P.E.O. ladies group, and then the couple will be giving a talk to their Methodist Church group later in the month.

The Clarks lost both their children, Danny and Lisa, to Niemann-Pick Disease Type C. The photo above is one of their mom's favorites, taken on a family outing to see a hockey game in 1997. Susie writes about her children, " They were fabulous kids, and taught us so much about courage, strength, and acceptance."
