While there are always safety measures to follow and precautions to take, crashes and varying degrees of injury are an inevitable element to snowboarding and sports of a similar nature. In the most recent episode of The Book of John J, “punched with positivity” John connects with the High Fives Foundation and a group of athletes who have suffered life altering injuries. The High Fives Foundation was founded by Roy Tuscany after he suffered a sever spinal cord injury in 2006 in a devastating crash while training. The Foundation works to not only help injured athletes rehab and become active again, but most importantly regain confidence and a positive outlook.
