The 14th Annual Mark Linder Walk for the Mind will be held Saturday, September 24 at the Peoria RiverPlex.
Mark Linder
Mark Linder was only in his twenties when he was diagnosed with a brain tumor. A Peoria native, he graduated from Richwood High School. He then attended and graduated from Southern Illinois University in 1997. He completed his studies for a Masters degree in Industrial Occupational Psychology in 1997 from Western Kentucky University.
Mark’s goal was to create a place where brain tumor survivors and those still fighting the battle can come and support each other in this battle. In an effort to reach out to other brain tumor survivors and to help raise funds for Brain Tumor research, Mark founded the Walk for the Mind in 2003. The Walk is a way to unite those individuals and their families and to raise funds to support brain tumor research in hopes to find a cure.
