In June 2024, Johnny went for a surf. On his first wave, he fell and crashed onto a sandbank.

The impact resulted in two broken ribs, a dislocated T11 vertebra, and damage to his spinal cord, leading to paralysis from the waist down.

“It was my worst nightmare and life as I knew it changed in an instant.”

Johnny and his fiancée Charlie are dreaming of being able to dance together in the kitchen again, one day.
