Raiders and Rams Football and Olympic Gold Medal winner Ron Brown inspires with advice to both old and young around making the best choices for your future, for the Power of faith and prayer, and the return to love that will eliminate social inequity. Ron describes his own path and the family members who gave him support and direction that kept him on the straight and narrow. Dr. Marissa asks him some hard questions around race and the best kinds of reactions that will help us move towards more peace. Ron's lifelong desire to give back and help happens at many levels, from trying to coach teens on making better choices to educating players who are ill-equipped to handle the million dollar contracts...and for all of those reasons and more he is being honored at this year's CHAMPION Gala which raises funds for at risk teens in the Children's Hospital LA www.ChampionFund.org. Dr. Marissa puts the "moose on the table" around the violence and concussion injury in sports like boxing and football, and tells on herself with respect to why she still watches! Ron Brown is presented with Dr. Marissa's Beneficial Presence on the Planet Award for all that he does in his "retirement".
