Mark Henry Says He’s Donating His Brain to CTE Research

– Mark Henry has revealed that he will donate his brain to the Concussion Legacy Foundation for CTE research after he dies. Henry discussed his decision on Busted Open Radio during Christopher Nowinski’s appearance today (per Wrestling Inc. Nowinski is the president of the CLF, which looks into the effects of concussions and CTE on the brain.

“I definitely want to go on record saying I am donating my brain to the brain bank,” Henry said. “I hope that something good can come out of ya’ll having my brain, maybe it’ll help with figuring out how things work in the future that will be benefitting my kids and everybody else’s kids. I know you (Chris) have a beautiful young baby girl and we always want the future to be better for our families.”

He added, “I hope that people realize that this is something that is not weird. What would be hard I think would be what you just said: after someone nearly passes away, it is hard to ask their spouse for their brain for science. I am a donor, I hope that I can help somebody live if something tragically happened to me. This is another way that I’ll be able to give back when I’m gone.”
