The High Fives Non-Profit Foundation recently started The Landon McGauley Project, a project to help 15 year-old Landon McGauley recover from a downhill mountain bike accident which left him paralyzed from the waist down. Landon is a big skier and biker and High Fives is committed to getting him back on snow. On January 5th – 10th, High Fives provided a trip to Lake Tahoe for Landon and his family. Landon skied at Alpine Meadows with the Far West Adaptive Ski School. Landon was so stoked and said, “This week was the best week of my life, thanks to you guys at High Fives!” Check out this inspiring video!
