Welcome back to Chat Sh*t Get Fit Recovery. This week we sit down with Jonny who has been on quite the journey. He is a soldier in the British Army and was only 23 when he suffered a stroke. A young fit healthy soldier and having a stroke just don't seem to add up. Regardless of what everyone was telling him and all the things that happened to him during his rehabilitation, he powered on through pure mental grit and determination and got involved in some pretty mad physical challenges/competitions.

 

Here's what he's done. We are just as shocked as you!
