Manage episode 341096714 series 2945752
A special collaboration with the Brain Donor Project crossover episode with Coming Home Well podcast.
Did you know that when you check the organ donor box on your driver's license it does NOT include your brain?
Guest Host Tish Hevel, Founder/CEO of The Brain Donor Project, a unique non-profit that exclusively supports the brain banks of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the NeuroBioBank, is joined by Jan and Mike Pieraccini, parent to GySgt. Ryan Pieraccini, to talk about Ryan's wishes to create his legacy by donating his brain to research. Jan and Mike continue to honor Ryan's wishes through Gunny's Warriors, a non-profit organization providing awareness and information to Veterans and their families with compassion, support, advocacy, and networking related to TBI injuries and its many effects on our warrior community.
