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.

Tish Hevel is the Founder/CEO of The Brain Donor Project, a unique nonprofit that exclusively supports the brain banks of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the NeuroBioBank. The Brain Donor Project was established in late 2016 to raise awareness of the critical need for donated brain tissue to advance the science of brain disease and to simplify the process of becoming a brain donor. To date, nearly 18,000 people have taken steps to become a brain donor. They represent more than 200 categories of brain disease, and almost half have healthy (or control) brains. The Brain Donor Project was inspired by the death of Hevel's dad, Gene, who died from Lewy Bodies Dementia and was a brain donor himself.
