In November 2013, after contracting what he thought was a common cold, Alex Lewis woke up unable to move. In the ICU, he was diagnosed with Strep A and told that he had a 1% chance of survival. Against all odds, Alex survived, at the cost of all four of his limbs and parts of his face.

Today, he is a passionate advocate for disability tech and an extreme sportsman, working with universities to develop new assistive technologies with each extraordinary challenge he undertakes.
