The 22 Project

A huge thank you to the Pompano Beach Golf League for their generous $15,000 donation to The 22 Project!

This group of local golfers came together to raise money for veterans, and we're honored to be one of the organizations they chose to support.

This donation will help a local veteran access Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT), providing an opportunity for healing, recovery, and hope.

We're grateful for the support and excited to put these funds to work serving veterans in our community.

Thank you, PBGL, for standing with our veterans. 🇺🇸

One of our alumni, John, was recently featured in the documentary The Resilient Brain — and it’s worth the watch.

The film looks at how the brain adapts and changes over time, following real stories of people navigating trauma, illness, and recovery. It includes veterans with traumatic brain injuries, alongside others facing different neurological conditions, and the researchers working to better understand it all.

During the documentary, John talks about his experience with The 22 Project — what it meant to see his brain SPECT imaging, and how Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy impacted his recovery.

“One of the coolest things I’ve noticed since going through the program is how bright colors actually are. It’s like a tint was removed from over my eyes.”

We’re really grateful for John. For the work he’s done, for continuing to show up for other veterans, and for helping bring awareness to the fact that healing from TBI is possible.

“As a combat veteran who served in Iraq (2005-2006), I was exposed to a lot of IED blasts and other factors that likely contributed to my TBI—but for years, I didn’t even realize I had one.

I’ve spent a long time putting in hard work to heal from the wounds of war, but still dealing with ongoing challenges I’ve been searching for more answers. Now that I have seen actual SPECT scan data that confirmed the extent of my brain injury it’s given me and my family something we hadn’t had before—answers, and hope.

Because of The 22 Project, I was given the opportunity to undergo Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy to possibly heal parts of my brain that have made everyday life a struggle. Being able to have my family there with me during treatment meant more than I can put into words. Having their support through this process was everything, and I’m incredibly grateful we were able to experience this together.

The invisible wounds of war are real. And I know there are other veterans out there like me who may not even realize what they’re facing—we all tend to think someone else had it worse.

I hope more veterans find the answers I was able to get. Don’t let the fear of embarrassment or pride stop you from getting the help you and your family deserve.

And to The 22 Project, Thank you!!”
