On the Move Luncheon is an inspiring, motivational and empowering event that brings people together to raise funds to end multiple sclerosis. The tremendous growth of this luncheon is testament to Minnesota's commitment to create a world free of MS.
This year’s keynote speaker is Jourdan Urbach. A violin virtuoso and graduate of Julliard, he is currently a freshman at Yale. He was selected as the youngest neuroscience researcher at Harvard University Medical School’s immunogenetics laboratory, under the direction of Dr. David Hafler of the International Multiple Sclerosis Genetics Consortium (IMSGC), with whom he conducted MS research. He is founder and director of Children Helping Children, a musical charity organization that raises funds through Concerts for a Cure for cutting edge neurological research, pediatric hospital divisions, and international medical organizations targeting the eradication of neurological disease. Jourdan’s most recent endeavor is President and Founder of the International Coalition of College Philanthropists (ICCP). The goal of the ICCP is to celebrate and encourage humanitarian leadership among college students by creating an elite Honor Society for Philanthropy.
