“I am the luckiest man I know of,” beams Mark Stone of Highland Park, Illinois. Lucky indeed! On May 19, Mark turns 90 years young. He attributes his health and happiness to serendipity and generosity.

Like many Americans, Mark’s life was impacted by gun violence — one of his dearest friend’s granddaughters ended her life in a gun suicide. Mark laments the senseless loss of life caused by gun violence in our country, and particularly in the city of Chicago. It is for this reason that he supports Brady.

As Mark says, “I like to help those who are not as lucky in their lives. And at 90, there is no need to save money for old age." Brady values all donors who give their time and treasure to make our world safer for others.
