Mac Parkman was a wrestler, a football player, and a son. On September 24th, 2020, he took his life after years of undiagnosed mental illness caused by repeated exposure to subconcussive trauma — the kind of brain injury that never shows up on a sideline test, never triggers a protocol, and never gets treated.

He was not alone.

Across America, millions of young athletes and the veterans who served this country are living with the same invisible damage right now — children whose developing brains absorbed thousands of subconcussive impacts before anyone thought to ask, and service members whose repeated blast exposure left wounds that no scan has ever captured.

The Mac Parkman Foundation exists to change that — through research, education, advocacy, and the relentless pursuit of better diagnosis and treatment for those whose brains have been quietly harmed by the sports they loved and the service they gave.

Your donation funds that work directly.

It supports scientific research projects, veteran brain health services, legislative advocacy, and the community education programs that are giving families, coaches, and clinicians the information they were never given in time to save Mac — and the thousands like him still waiting for answers.
