Help injured athletes recover and thrive.
with High Fives Foundation
On April 29, 2006, aspiring pro skier Roy Tuscany, suffered a devastating spinal cord injury while training in Mammoth Mountain, CA. Roy overshot a jump, traveling 130 feet on a 100-foot gap. The resulting impact burst fractured his T-12 vertebrae, compromising 45% of his spinal cord. The accident rendered his lower body paralyzed, but not for long. Thanks to friends, family, and his close network of athletes and trainers, Roy recovered from his injury in 2 years. Now, he wants to give it all back.
Roy founded the High Fives Foundation in Truckee, California on January 19th, 2009.
