Home › Blog › Regenexx Patient Joe Maroon Featured in Wall Street Journal

Joe Maroon is amazing. A 70 year old iron-man that just keeps going and going like the Energizer bunny. Joe’s Ironman Triathlon work-out was just featured in the Wall Street Journal. When we first met Joe three years ago, he was placed into one of our mesenchymal stem cell studies and at that point hadn’t run an iron-man in 5 years due to his knee. After we injected stem cells in his knee, he went on to complete the Hawaii iron-man and is still competing. Joe didn’t get a new knee from stem cells, and not everyone will experience the results he did, but clearly it does seem to have really helped him get back to competing at high levels and in major triathlons. Congratulations to our iron-man friend. Joe you’re an amazing inspiration to us all and at 70 you could swim, bike, or run any of us far younger guys under the table! I have blogged on Joe’s story numerous times, those entries can be found in the following posts:
