22 JUMPS

22 Jumps is a 501(c)(3) public charity that combines BASE jumping, event planning, and visual storytelling into a fundraising platform that supports the development of durable short-term and long-term solutions for those suffering from traumatic brain injuries. Our goal is the reduce the rate of suicidality within the United States by addressing a major contributing factor — untreated traumatic brain injuries. The organization was founded in 2020 in memory of the founder's brother, who succumbed to suicide after sustaining a massive traumatic brain injury in Iraq in 2006. As of June 2023, 22 Jumps has raised over $250,000 in grassroots fundraising efforts, of which over 80% has funded the Kiernan Wimmer Traumatic Brain Injury Initiative — a portfolio of research initiatives to develop long-term solutions for traumatic brain injuries.
