My Story...
Hi I’m Alex and I’m a marine engineer, while working out in the Caribbean in 2006 during some leisure time I went swimming and my whole life changed in an instant... I hit my head on a sand bank and broke my neck. The vertebrae at c5 fractured and c6 broke into three parts one of which damaged my spinal cord, leaving me paralysed from the chest down. More

i feel as motivated as a fish dried out on the beach with a skunks arse gaffa taped to its head being pee’d on after a jellyfish sting with an eye full of onion juice….

besides this, in physio today i went in the pool, my swimming is coming on – i did 1 1/2 lengths under water without the snorkel! so my lungs are getting stronger, we worked on my core stability and balance in preparation for kayaking

I couldn’t put a price on walking again.. and if medical science can’t do it, another way is using an exo-skeleton – with this i wont “actually walk” but the skeleton walks for me – which will get me upright and moving independently, which is everything to me.. and as i said “i couldn’t put a price on it” someone has and it’s $20,000 i just don’t have that sort of cash.. if anyone does or can help in anyway – please help a young and really attractive guy get his life back

i was having a good physio session today standing in the parallel bars and could initiate a pelvic tilt on command but then my blood pressure dropped (i think due to holding my breath while concentrating…) so cut the session short.

the bike with 9.1miles then swimming, turning, diving.. my swimmings stronger each day, yesterday i had physio in the pool trying to improve my strength and technique – yesterday i had bad nerve pain, i’ve put it down to the extra stimulant in my core muscles thru C8 to T6, it burns but things are changing and sitting around as i do….. i need something, i’m looking into kayak’s and adapting one so it wont capsize (so easily) i’ll be back in or on the water
