Pekka Hyysalo
Pekka aims to spread positivity, the joy of working together, hope, willpower, perseverance, resilience, and the FightBack attitude through his inspiring story.
In the spring of 2010, after completing his matriculation exams, Pekka Hyysalo had just begun living his dream as a professional freeski athlete—until one second changed everything. In April, during a jump in Ylläs, he suffered a serious accident that resulted in a life-threatening traumatic brain injury and left him in a coma for nearly three weeks. His battle for world rankings suddenly became a battle for life itself, and his values were reshaped in the process.
Despite grim predictions, Pekka fought his way back to independent life through sheer determination and the power of sisu. In 2013, he founded FightBack to help others recovering from traumatic brain injuries.
Pekka is widely known for creating Team FightBack, and has received numerous honors: he was named Turku Citizen of the Year and Finland’s Most Positive Person in 2014. In 2016, he was also recognized as the Ambassador of Good Manners and Speaker of the Year in Finland—an incredible achievement for someone who had completely lost the ability to speak just a few years earlier.
