TUCSON, Ariz. — At just 20-years-old, Ron Trozzi's life changed forever when a bodysurfing accident left him paralyzed. Now, 47 years later, he has found a new passion that has given him a renewed sense of purpose: TikTok.
Trozzi was bodysurfing with a friend when he dove head first into a sandbar, crushing his cervical five and six vertebrae."Not really paying attention, I just leaped and the water was shallow," Trozzi said."Instantly, I was totally paralyzed." Doctors gave him ten months to live. Despite the dire prognosis, Trozzi defied the odds."I decided that I would prove them wrong," he said."Social media saved my life absolutely," Trozzi said. With over 200,000 followers, he posts daily videos that inspire many to persevere through their own struggles.“I was trained at a boot camp in New Jersey how to save people's lives," Trozzi said."My life drastically changed, but here’s the incredible thing.
