Special Operations Forces (SOF) personnel face an alarming prevalence of Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) as a result of repeated exposure to blast waves, high-impact training, and combat operations. These injuries are often invisible, misdiagnosed, or left untreated, creating long-term challenges that extend far beyond military service. The effects of TBI include chronic headaches, cognitive decline, depression, and increased risk of suicide.
These conditions not only compromise the operator's health but also destabilize families and weaken the broader communities to which they return. Despite the severity of this issue, existing systems of care are fragmented, underfunded, and often inaccessible for SOF warriors and their families.
Project R3con (PR3) is a 501(c)(3) national nonprofit that facilitates access for currently serving and veteran SOF personnel to cutting-edge stem cell therapy to treat the effects of TBIs. PR3’s goal is to restore and protect brain health in Special Operations Forces personnel through regenerative stem cell therapy that harnesses the body’s own healing potential.
The cost to heal one warrior is approximately $15,000. Our leadership team personally oversees every case, guiding each operator through intake, coordination, licensed medical partner engagement, and follow-up care to ensure the highest level of service and the best chance for success.
When warriors heal:
Spouses regain emotional connection and partnership
Children have a more present, emotionally balanced parent
Communities benefit as warriors reintegrate with purpose
And perhaps most urgently, we combat suicide
