When Dan Richards went for a New Year's Eve swim in 2023, he never could have imagined how drastically his life would change. In a freak accident, he injured his neck when a wave caused him to flip and hit the sand in Langland Bay, Swansea. "I knew instantly that I was paralysed," the 37-year-old said. "I couldn't move anything." Doctors told him he would be bed-bound but, two years later, he uses a wheelchair and can move his arms and fingers.
