She may not be a “puppy” but she still deserves some recognition today💙

In honor of Brain Injury Awareness Month, we want to take this opportunity to raise awareness about these conditions and the impact they can have on individuals and their families.

Traumatic brain injury is a serious medical condition that occurs when there is a blow or jolt to the head that disrupts normal brain function. The severity of a TBI can range from mild, with symptoms such as headache or confusion, to severe, which can result in long-term cognitive and physical impairments. TBI is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide, and the effects can be long-lasting and life-changing.

PTSD is a mental health condition that can develop after a person has experienced or witnessed a traumatic event, such as combat, sexual assault, or a natural disaster. Symptoms can include flashbacks, nightmares, anxiety, and depression. PTSD can be challenging to diagnose and treat, and it can significantly impact a person's quality of life.

Many individuals who experience TBI also develop PTSD, and the two conditions can interact in complex ways. TBI can make it more challenging to cope with the symptoms of PTSD, and PTSD can make it more challenging to recover from TBI. This is why it is essential to have a comprehensive treatment plan that addresses both conditions.

At Operation Rolling for Resilience, we are committed to supporting individuals with programs. These include Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and other programs to help mediate the social and physical issues that come with navigating the challenges of these conditions,

If you or someone you know is living with TBI or PTSD, please know that you are not alone. There is hope for recovery, and with the right support and treatment, it is possible to live a fulfilling life. We encourage everyone to learn more about TBI and PTSD and to support organizations like Operation Rolling for Resilience that are working to raise awareness and support those affected by these conditions.

Dear Friends,

With your gracious support at our 2nd Annual Veterans Day event, we were able to raise more donations than the entire previous total donations year-to-date.

Our team incredibly proud of the community that came out to show support to our veterans and to our cause.

We will continue working to serve the community with the resources we have and strive to always push further with what we can do.

Thank you for the inspiration.

Sincerely,

Operation for Resilience Team

UPDATE: Sorry about the delay in posting this everyone. We have been holding off, because it is so surreal that we were able to finish our mission in just under 10 months.

On August 20th, the Rolling for Resilience team traveled to Derry, New Hampshire for another awesome Grappling Industries event, and our 22nd and final tournament on our 22 tournament tour for veteran su***de awareness. Justin took to the mats ans was able to take silver in the gi absolute division, and silver in his gi weight class. This day was full of joyous tears, as we finished what we started and reminisced on what has been accomplished over the last year. Thank you all for your support through this year! The overwhelming amount support in the jiu-jitsu and local communities we have received has been a blessing in itself. We will be taking a small hiatus from competing, but stay tuned. We have alot of exciting announcements to come about the future of Rolling for Resilience.
