My Nonprofit Reviews

November 20, 2020 was like any other early season powder day. The stoke to shred was at an all time high! I had dedicated my life to snowboarding since I was 15 years old, working and surrounding myself in the snowboarding/ski culture. I lived and breathed snowboarding, something I would look forward all summer just to get a chance to float on that chowder! The statement "life can change in a blink of an eye" was more true then ever on this day! I planned to jump over a rock and caught my board which sent me forward directly onto another rock. I broke my T9-T10 which lead to a T7-T12 spinal fusion. My life would forever be changed, but the support that I found from CRAIG and High Fives will never be forgotten! The grant which I received will help me to regain my confidence, strength and get me back to doing the things that I loved so much! I wouldn't be where I am at, without the generosity and support from the High Fives Foundation! Each and every athlete is an inspiration to model my life around. I want to give my utmost gratitude to High Fives and all that they have and will do in the future! Keep the shred alive!
