TPM Episode 347: Roy Tuscany, The High Fives Foundation

The Powell Movement Action Sports Podcast

Roy Tuscany is back, and part 2 with Roy is different than any podcast or interview he’s done before. This episode isn’t about Roy’s story of coming back from a life-altering injury and starting the High Fives Foundation; we did that in episode 49. This week, we talk about things like what it’s like being the first person to offer an injured person hope after a transformative injury, how difficult that is, what the cost of a spinal injury is, how one pays for that, and a lot of the things able-bodied people don’t think about. High Fives Athlete Trevor Kennison asks the Inappropriate Questions.
