Roy Tuscany suffered a spinal injury in 2006. After his recovery he founded @hi5sfoundation, a non-profit that has helped hundreds of injured athletes and veterans from across the country. ⁠ ⁠ “The massive thing I’ve recognized through this work is that sports are a byproduct of community,” Tuscany explains. “We know that if we can get people back to sport, we can use sport as a vehicle to get them back to community and social interaction. We use sport as a way to integrate people back into … people.”⁠ ⁠ 📸 @ming.t.poon⁠ ⁠ 📖Pick up a copy of our latest issue to enjoy the article in our large print format or click the 🔗 in our bio to read more here. ⬆️⁠ ⁠ #highfivesfoundation #highfivesathletes #accessibility #california #outdoors #community #adaptivesports #palisadestahoe #adventuresportsjournal #myasj

Regular ASJ contributor Krista Houghton has always been on the lookout for trash on her outdoor adventures. 🏞⁠ ⁠ This past year, she’s bumped up her efforts – accompanied by her husband – by getting out in her own neighborhood with a trash bag and picker. What started as a downer as she made her neighborhood rounds has developed into a sense of pride in caring for the area she lives in. 🏡 ⁠ ⁠ Imagine the good vibes and clean public places if we all followed Krista’s example! 💓⁠ ⁠ 👆🏾 Go to the 🔗 in our bio to get inspired by her article in our latest issue.⁠ ⁠ #stewardship #community #outdoors #AdventureSportsJournal #myASJ
