William Person

William Person is a former nine-year Team USA Bobsled athlete whose career left him battling the devastating effects of CTE. At his lowest point, he could barely get up off the floor, lost in confusion, depression, intense headaches, and a deteriorating brain. Hope came when he discovered Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, which restored clarity in his thinking, color to his vision, and purpose to his life. Today, William is on a mission to raise awareness of brain damage in sports, the military, and other lifetime collisions, and share the importance of protecting and healing the brain. He’s on a mission to open a nonprofit CTE Recovery Center to help athletes, veterans, and civilians heal from brain injuries, at no cost to them.

To realize this mission, he’s launched a GoFundMe: https://gofund.me/93ff9c6e, which will help him raise funds to open a center where anyone battling CTE and brain injury symptoms can get treated.
