Tristin Thomas
Tristin was injured while serving on state active duty with the National Guard when he was involved in a motorcycle accident on his way home. Although his limb was initially salvaged, he had minimal function in his right foot. In 2024, he elected to undergo an amputation to improve his quality of life and has remained active in his recovery ever since.

“Two words: Confidence and Connection. The High Fives M2M program is an incredible mechanism for connecting the community of adaptive athletes, and embraces the power of bringing people together. It removes the feelings of isolation that come with disability, and you gain a sense of belonging that I haven't felt anywhere else.“
