My name is Martin Domaradzki. For 22 years, I served and deployed with 3rd Recon, 2D Force Reconnaissance, and MARSOC. The military was my life and my purpose. After years of service, multiple deployments, exposure to IEDs and VBIEDs, and a career spent on the move, I now live with traumatic brain injury, PTSD, and chronic pain in my shoulders, knees, and lower back. These visible and invisible wounds have changed my daily life, making even normal routines a struggle.

🏥 The Challenge

Physical activity was always my way to cope with the non-visible wounds of war. Now, I can no longer run, walk for a mile, or do many of the things that used to bring me relief and joy. My inability to be active has compounded my struggles with TBI and PTSD. Despite medicine and ongoing pain management, every day is an uphill climb.

🪖 Service and Sacrifice

I joined the Marine Corps in December 1997 and retired in December 2019. My journey began with 3D Recon in Okinawa, followed by assignments as a Marine Security Guard in Lisbon and Karachi. I served with 2D Force, deploying back-to-back to Iraq and Afghanistan, and later moved into training and operations roles with MARSOC and Special Operations Africa. My career took me around the world, from the South China Sea to Germany, always focused on the mission and my team.

💔 Daily Impact

The pain and injuries from service have forced me to give up running, swimming, hiking, brisk walking, and basketball. The loss of physical activity has made it harder to manage my TBI and PTSD. It has also limited my ability to enjoy life and play with my daughter.

🌟 Hope for Healing

I believe stem cell therapy and a holistic approach offer a real chance to move beyond pharmaceuticals and reclaim my life. My hope is to return to activities that allow me to enjoy the outdoors, connect with nature, and play with my daughter. I want to heal, not just for myself, but for my family and for the life I still want to live.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story. Your support and encouragement bring me closer to the possibility of healing, renewed activity, and a life where I can be present for those I love.
