Told He Would Never Walk Again, Josh Woo...

About this episode

Get the tissues out, this one is a tear jerker. Ellidy is chatting with her mate (and one of Chumpy's idols), Josh 'Woody' Woods ,about how he overcome the greatest of odds.

Josh was a snowboarder who was going places, when an error of judgement landed him in hospital, lucky to even be alive, as a complete quadriplegic and was told he would never walk again.

Three months later Josh walked out the rehab centre to return to snowboarding and motorbike riding. Now, over two decades later, he and his 7 year old are making a fresh start on the Gold Coast. This is Josh's heartbreaking story of resilience and overcoming adversity to shine bright.
