James and I recently attended the annual fundraising banquet for the nonprofit For the Love of a Veteran. We had the distinct privilege of meeting Christine Waltz, the warm-hearted founder of this organization which provides help and hope in the form of Stellate Ganglion Blocks (SGB) for veterans and active-duty military personnel suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Injury (PTSI).

Dr. Sean Mulvaney, a leading researcher and provider of SGB procedures for military personnel, was the keynote speaker at the banquet. He is also a friend of our daughter, Carol Bender, and Joy Wellness Partners, her regenerative clinic in San Diego, where clients sponsored by For the Love of a Veteran can receive SGBs. As the remote client care coordinator for Carol’s clinic, I was happy to be seated next to Dr. Mulvaney and his wife, Laura. I was grateful for the opportunity to talk with him about his research and ask questions on behalf of JWP’s many SGB clients.

James and I were impressed with the testimonies we heard of the benefits of the SGB and the efforts of For the Love of a Veteran to bring healing and relief to active and retired military personnel suffering from PTSI.
