POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

We’re Inspired by how Janne Kouri turned one of the hardest moments of his life into a mission that has positively impacted thousands of others.

After a spinal cord injury left him paralyzed, Janne learned that insurance-supported rehabilitation often ends after only a few weeks, even though the need for care continues.

He turned that gap into @nextstepla - giving people living with paralysis access to advanced rehabilitation, fitness, and a community built around possibility.

Nearly two decades later, NextStep has helped thousands pursue greater health, independence, and quality of life.

We’re proud to call NextStep an Inspired partner. Meet Janne and hear his story. by @califinn

LINK IN BIO! We are embarking on our 10th adventure on wheels. To date I have ridden over 5,500 miles throughout the USA and as a team we raised over $1.5 Million to support the paralysis community! This time we are riding 150 Miles from San Diego to Manhattan Beach. Please consider making a donation to my campaign or come join the fun. It truly is an experience of a lifetime and you do not need to be an avid cyclist to get it done. Also , we can provide you with a free highend road bike so you can start your training as soon as you like. #rideforparalysis #sisu #nextstep taken in San Diego, California by @califinn
