Special Operators are exposed to repetitive, often undiagnosed traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) due to high-impact training, combat, breaching operations, and blast overpressure.

These injuries accumulate over time and contribute to:

Cognitive decline

Mood disorders (e.g., depression, irritability, impulsivity)

Increased risk of suicide

Early onset neurodegenerative disease

Current therapies may fall short, as they manage symptoms but don’t treat the root cause of brain damage. That’s where cord blood stem cell therapy offers transformative potential.

Investing in this therapeutic resource for our SOF community means giving our nation’s most elite warriors the opportunity for R3generation, R3covery, and R3integration to return to duty, or lead meaningful post-service lives.

Project R3con is a veteran-founded nonprofit committed to healing the invisible wounds of war. Established by a retired U.S. Army Green Beret, our mission is to facilitate precision stem cell therapies to treat TBIs  in the SOF community.
