This October, we’re taking on all 50 states with a mission that matters 🇺🇸

The 2nd Annual Squatober | Benefiting Project R3con led by Retired Green Beret Nick Ward, follows his journey as he squats across the country to raise awareness about the lasting physical and mental health effects of traumatic brain injuries (TBI) on our Special Operations Forces community.

TBI is the signature injury of modern warfare. Those who suffer from it face a significantly higher risk of suicide. This campaign is about changing that.

Project R3con delivers targeted, science-backed regenerative care through stem cell therapies designed to address the complex neurological injuries experienced by those from the Special Operations Forces community.

Special Operators are exposed to repetitive, often undiagnosed TBIs (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.
