Many of us associate having a stroke with old age - but for one man it was a very different story. Chris Johnson's world was turned upside down when a stroke hit him out of the blue at just 28 years of age.
Chris, who described himself as "entirely fit and healthy", was getting ready for work when it happened. He was left with impaired vision, an inability to speak and a loss of feeling.
Chris, a barrister and keen cyclist from Stockport, said: "It was early morning. I was alone in my flat, getting ready for work. I felt fine, days before I had been riding the regional XC MTB championships, in a moment, I lost the feeling in the right side of my body, and the vision in my right eye was reduced to broad patches of colour.
