My Nonprofit Reviews

The High Fives Foundation has played an integral part in my post injury life. At 23 I broke my back while skiing and was paralyzed from the waist down. Many of the sports and activities that I loved such as skiing, hiking, biking (to name a few) seemed out of reach for me.

The High Fives network helped to show me that I could still pursue and enjoy the active hobbies that are part of my identity. I was recently awarded a grant from High Fives that helped me to afford an off-road handcycle mountain bike. It is such a game changer for me because I am no longer forced to live by the confines of my wheelchair when I hike or fish or just enjoy life outside. 5 stars all day for this superb foundation and their incredible staff!
