Johnny Agar gained international attention when he walked a mile in his church’s annual 5K. That sounds like an odd reason for fame, except for the reality of Johnny’s severe cerebral palsy. Even with a lifetime of physical therapy before this race, the longest distance he’d ever previously walked was twenty-three steps. Since that incredible feat, Johnny and his father Jeff have partnered in countless races, including the infamous Ironman World Championship in Kona, Hawaii, which was chronicled by NBC. Johnny has been featured on The Today Show, Inside Edition, NBC Nightly News, People, USA Today, Huffington Post, and ESPN’s Sportscenter. His tenacity and indelible spirit have inspired numerous professional and Olympic athletes, and Johnny is a Brand Ambassador for the sports apparel company Under Armour. Now Johnny gives motivational speeches to inspire others to overcome their challenges and chase their dreams, one step at a time. Among his other roles, Johnny serves as the Athletic Ambassador for the Cerebral Palsy Foundation, and he’s proud to have earned a dual major in Sports Management and Business Administration from Aquinas College in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The Impossible Mile is Johnny’s first book.
