ā€œEarly Saturday night Sam was on his way to visit family when he was accidentally hit by a car,ā€ she said.

ā€œOur Ambos got him picked up and tucked away safely in hospital in record time,ā€ she said.

ā€œThe fantastical medical staff are in overdrive taking care of his sore head.

ā€œHe’s awake and not too happy that he doesn’t have his pants – nobody loves a hospital gown.

ā€œHearing his voice is lovely, but can’t wait for hugs when it’s safe,ā€ she wrote.

In 2012 Johnson and his sister Connie started the Love Your Sister Charity, which supports the Garvan Institute of Medical Research.

In 2014 Johnson completed a 15,955-kilometre unicycle journey, breaking a world record and raising $1,477,630 for cancer services.

In 2016, Johnson was awarded and OAM for services to cancer research and the performing arts, a year before his sister Connie died after battling cancer since she was a child.
