I cannot thank you all enough for everything!!! In total 16 miles took me 7 hours, gonna be in a wheelchair for the next week with how sore my body is!
I remember when you announced you would be doing this with effective no training. That alone is wild. You are an inspiration. 16 miles! That is hell'a impressive. I hope you have a good rest. You deserve it.
Alex, all I can say is wow. What you accomplished through this is so much more than running a marathon. You’ve educated so many people (myself included) on just how unfair the system is for access to life’s basic necessities! You are such an inspiration man, sending love from Ireland 🇮🇪
16 miles is so much further than most people think, the fact you did it all on crutches is mind boggling to me. im in need of mobility aids myself but cant get them yet, but you are one of the people who make me believe i can keep going and do the things i love to do. congrats on the 16!!
Exactly my thinking! When I first heard the idea I wouldn’t have thought 25+ Km / 16 miles using crouches would be possible. Even one tenth of that distance would murder my hands and wrists. And be quite the challenge to overcome for most people. 16 miles / a bit over 25 km, is just mind boggling for me to even imagine doing on crutches. His hands deserve whatever is the hands equivalent to like a 6 months long spa retreat.
Alex--- I actually also ran the marathon, and remember seeing you around mile 1-2 thinking WOAAAH! That guy is so amazing! I can't believe that the TH-cam algorithm actually brought me to this video, but I just wanted to say how much much I am proud of you for making it a full 16 miles. This nearly brought me to tears. Thank you so much for sharing your story, and bringing awareness to the issues of accessible medical equipment. Sending healing vibes your way (my toes, for one, are so bruised still :,-) )
Hey Alex, I donated 25.75 $ - which is a dollar per kilometer you walked (us continental Europeans being peculiar with our km and such). You did a half marathon! More as! Friends of mine in Berlin did the Berlin Halbmarathon (having desk jobs), and they trained months in advance. You had a week, crutches and you made a half marathon - a whole Halbmarathon! You did such a great job! Hope you heal nicely. Here’s to you, dear 🥂.
Thank you so much for the support!!! I am still shocked on how many miles I was able to push through! I can't wait to actually commit time into training for another marathon in the future!
@@Alex1Leg hello Alex can I talk to you asap I may be removing my leg above knee and would be nice to get your opinion thank you and God bless you in Jesus's name 🙏
@@weplanthegrows7916why would you remove your leg above your knee? (I know it’s probably some medical stuff but I was just wondering, you don’t have to share if you don’t want to)
16 miles is more than MOST people with two legs have ever run in one go. Some say less than 2% of the US population has completed a half marathon so if that's true you beat 98% of people! Lol either way congrats on pushing yourself. I am training and overcoming injuries currently and found a lot of inspiration from your story
Ok but can we give you even more credit for doing 16 miles of the SAN FRANCISCO MARATHON?? The hills are absolutely killer near the bridge 😭 Congratulations, what an accomplishment!!
As a fellow disabled person (I don't have prosthetics but I do require braces, excessive breaks, etc) I gotta say you're absolutely incredible man! I've always wanted to run a marathon too, and ever since my legs (body in general really) started failing, I've been even more motivated to try one before I'm not able to. *16 miles is crazy awesome! Heal well 👍*

even if you didn’t complete it, 16 miles is still really impressive especially in crunches, you are an inspiration to everyone who watches your videos because of your positivity and determination you have in yourself and I couldn’t be more proud ❤️
From everyone out there who's struggled or felt like they couldn't or been TOLD they weren't able to. Thank you. You are such a special soul and touch more people than you realize. ❤️
This is fkn amazing. Don't beat urself up for not finishing, this is exactly why people NEED running blades. Running is not and should never be considered a luxury. I hope the internet blows this up, I'll definitely share everywhere I can. Keep going Alex!
What a beautiful person you are! There are not enough people in the world like Alex. Thank you Alex for you being you. You being lots of joy. You are a very talented and driven person. You are an inspiration to us all. You do not deserve this hand dealt to you. I wish you peace and smiles for all your days! FUCK CANCER!
Alex, this is incredible! I cannot imagine running 16 miles as an able-bodied person, and you did it on crutches! You are incredibly inspiring - thank you for everything you do.
16 miles is a hell of an achievement. Especially with only a weeks worth of training. I think this is a good start for you Alex. I expect you'll practice and train harder for your next. Never stop, Never stop pushing your limits. Keep going Alex.
I just found you on TH-cam today and I just want to say that I am feeling so proud of you & I am grateful that I found on you. I had run 10 kms once, when I started running and 10 kms was just too much. Seeing you run a marathon is just amazing and unbelievable for some but it had definetly motivated me to get back to running a marathon slowly and steadily.
I am so proud of you!!! I dream of being able to run and we may not be the same you have one working leg and I have two troublesome legs but we all work towards the same goal doing what we love. I love you so much! Congratulations for raising 2500 and for doing the “impossible”
16 miles is a BIG deal, with or without crutches! I’ve been running for over 20 years and have never heard of a run such as this, I’m crying tears of joy for you man - this is a phenomenal achievement (for anyone)!! This was wayyy more than an attempt, it was a massive victory!!! (Also, having friends with and without legs and working in healthcare myself, the only disappointing part of the run is that prosthetics and even adaptive sports equipment such as wheelchairs cost an exorbitant amount. The wheelchair ballroom dance students in the inclusive ballroom classes I attend can’t afford sport/dance wheel chairs, it’s nuts what adaptive equipment costs, my heart aches for them.)
I am so proud of you, Alex! Even if you didn't finish, you still did 16 miles, on crutches, with only a week to train! You are incredible and I wish you well! 🩵💜
I just wanted to say that you inspired me to write my own Star Wars novel, I want to publish it one day but there is one character in particular that I want to give you credit for. If you haven't seen Star Wars then there are these soldiers who are clones of one another. They are born to fight and the character that I've created is a Clone Commando named Boot. He is an amputee thus his name and his brothers help him maintain his robotic leg, or if he's on a break from missions then he'll just detach it. I just wanted to let you know that amputees are beginning to be more and more represented. And you are such an amazing role model! - Much love: A big fan :D
brother watching your videos is gonna change a lot of people's lives and perspectives of their own lives. Being grateful for what we have is very important right. Thanks for making these videos.
I'm having to rely on crutches since I had foot surgery almost 3 weeks ago and I cannot believe you made it 16 miles. This is honestly insane and I have so much respect for you, even walking a couple hundred meters tires me out and makes my hands hurt like hell. Even if you didn't finish the marathon, you made it way further than pretty much anyone else ever would've made it on crutches - and further than most people would make it even without the crutches!! Hoping you'll feel better soon!
I don’t think I have ever respected someone more than I respect you man. Whenever I feel sad, you are my one of my biggest motivations and I appreciate you and your content so much, I don’t say this out of pity but out of pure respect. Keep it up man! You’re amazing 🫶🏻
Hi Alex, You're an inspiration. People who lose their legs shouldn't have to pay for their blade leg. I hope there is a change in society to support people without legs better. Keep up the amazing work, and keep never giving up. All the best , Lorenzo.
I’m a very young double amputee and this video made me so happy, and l feel so recognized with how hard it is just to get up and run and what you have to do to get there❤️❤️❤️ You are SO amazing never stop!!!
Alex you are awesome dude! How many people can say that they can run 16 miles In 7 hours on one leg and 5 days of training,That means that you could easily run 32 miles with 2 legs and 3.5 hours with 2 and a half days of training .💪💪💯
I am utterly astounded and super impressed with your raw determination and courage and old fashioned grit. I want to stand as you enter the room and in your presence. What an amazing human being. You inspire so many including me (for what it’s worth)!!
Wow. You've done so much, more than many people can do with two legs! I've been waiting for this forever and can't wait to see how you did (probally amazing). You're so inspiring, keep it up!
I've been lurking around and I've never felt so motivated and emotional to see this journey. Thank you for your continued positivity and your drive. It's amazing how you achieved this! much love to you bro
I’m just in shock. I’ve got no words to say, but just that you are the most optimistic and kind person I’ve ever seen. This much optimism even after losing a leg just feels unreal. Stay strong, and stay being positive, man! We are always here for you, dude!
I’m so glad you’re okay! I was worried about you! Glad you made it 16 miles-that in and of itself is a huge accomplishment!!! Thank you for bringing awareness to this issue many amputees are struggling with! Keep smiling! You make the world a better place! 😊
man you don’t know how much this inspires so much people you did this with just crutches your will power is insane keep pushing the ALMIGHTY is with you know that people are proud of you❤
Absolutely incredible! You’re an inspiration. Thank you for sharing your journey, and for reminding us that we are capable of so much more than we think we are.
You inspire me to become more competent with my crutches, because as mobility aids go they do offer so much freedom to adventure. At 18, cancer killed a section of my tibia & pelvis so even though I still have my leg I have a fairly daily step limit in hopes of reducing damage to the section that has survived. Mobility aids are essential; be them prosthetics, wheelchairs, crutches, of hinged braces, in letting people with disabilities experience the world.
You’re incredible, man! To run a marathon (on crutches) is spectacular, but you did far more than that. You told your story, brought awareness to something so incredibly important, and have helped masses of people! I hope you remember that :)
The fact the I have two legs and struggle to run 2 miles while your going up hills on crutches and I don’t even try, really speaks about the person you are ❤ you are so inspirational ❤❤
Bro youre such a freakin beast. I am in awe of your determination to keep pushing. You're amazing no matter how far you were able to push yourself. YOU DID IT BRO!!!! Way to freakin go!!!! Hell ye bro, your goal in raising that money will go on to help someone who's in need of pushing beyond their limitations just like any other physically challenged athlete.
I have been through a lot and not what you have been through and thank you so much for showing others that you can do so much more than anyone thinks that you can when doctors have given up on you and you only have yourself and those who support you to do more you are a beautiful amazing human being thank you for being part of the human race we need others more like you
Fighting tears watching this bro you are such an inspiration. Last year i was temporarily paralyzed from a SCI and I'm had to learn how to walk again and I'm still perfecting it but just had to push myself to get through. Your strength to push through is so motivational and i love that you're not only sharing your story but pushing for everyone to be able to access for whatever they need medical if they need it. Im in the military so i was fortunate of having my medical expenses paid for but i can't imagine how i would be if i had to pay out of pocket. I probably would be in debt for the rest of my life for something i never asked for. thank you Alex!
grats on getting 16 miles my man! You were well under half an hour/mile and that's incredible! Some people would struggle to do that over that distance with both legs healthy! You continue to be an inspiration and an absolute joy of an entertainer. Can't wait to see what you do next
You're such an inspiration and a beautiful soul. You did it and 16 miles is no small achievement. I love everyhing about this video and your purpose. I'm sending love. light and peace your way.
You are so strong man! 16 miles is still such an accomplishment. Most people could only dream of that. The fact you did it all on crutches is insane to me. I completely understand how frustrating not getting to the end must have been. Celebrate your accomplishments though brother. Keep on going Alex!
You gave it all you got man and the mist important thing is that you didn’t give up until yo couldn’t go anymore really happy for you hope u recover soon and stay strong 🙏🏻🫶🏻❤️👍🏼
This was such a wholesome and motivating video!! You have so much willpower and did really good without barely any preparation. I hope you recover quickly!
Lesssssggooooooooo!!!!!!!!! Many would've given up at an early stage, even without crutches, and looking at you brings me so much joy and energy that how you are able to deal with such things gives me mad respect brother, Happy to be a subscriber.
Thank you for sharing this journey. No matter how many miles you ran, you still ran a marathon. You're an inspiration to people who wouldn't register for such an event, but who still run toward goals. I'm interested to see what your next achievement will be- your bucket list seems to grow with each week, limited only by your imagination, which appears to be limitless. Thank you, again.
Alex you have my deepest respect. You pushed yourself byond and byond and raised so awareness. Also you ran further than i could 😂 Greetings from The Netherlands 🇳🇱
CONGRATULATIONS! You have came such a long way and you prove to many people that you can do anything even in difficult situations. Thanks for the motivation.❤
I'm a 62 year YOUNG German Guy, facing a leg amputation (that I'm waiting for, for about 2.5 to 3 years...). A former Cancer Patient (Testicle, Lungs and Lymphsystem), so I definitely get the MOUNTAINS of suffering you had to come over with. That's my first Congratulation. Second is: After taking part on this Marathon, I hope you realized that you are a WINNER! 🤓 DEFINITELY! One mustn't make it to the Finish Line to win, or get a better "Time" or a "Distance". People taking part in this, are winning the moment they decide to BE a part! Every Person is different. Everyone has its own Problems, obstacles, physically or mentally to deal with. So when you do it, it's not a question of the classical "Success" and being better than a "Looser" to "Win" a Contest, most important is ones own DARING nature. So you are a WINNER! Logical? I highly recommend you two Guys from Italy, where you can learn how to STRETCH in crutches and long distance hiking : Andrea Devicenzi Gianni Sasso Have a look! Send me good wishes. I'm DAMN SCARED for Autumn and Winter this Year! GOOD LUCK TO YOU ☘️☘️☘️ and THANK YOU for your Courage!!!
“There’s nothing that cleanses your soul like getting the hell kicked out of you so use what you’ve been through as fuel, believe in yourself and be unstoppable !! That video was amazing Alex so glad u did what u set out to as far as running the marathan you were a beast out there, u had such motivation and perseverance out there so kudos to you and THANK YOU for being such an inspiring positive and bad ass human😊 there needs to be more people in the world like you love you ,your videos and channel I'm learing alot from you and channel/videos ,about people and there prosthetics and there challenges and non challenging things😊❤
I'm so proud of you Alex! 16 miles is incredible. And it's all down to your hard work and dedication. Keep fighting the good fight and thank you so much for bringing even more awareness to what amputees have to deal with every day
Congrats!! 16 miles is such a huge accomplishment, especially on hardly a week of training. It's incredible that you're body was able to complete such an arduous and intense half-marathon on that amount of training. I'm excited to see what else you can accomplish when you put your heart, soul, mind, and body into it. Also, hope your hands have recovered!
You are so tough and strong and really inspiring 😃 I've been told as a late teenager early twenty years old that i would be in a wheelchair when I hit 50. To be honest, it kinda broke me, and that with a lot of other things really took me down. I am now in my thirties, and I am determined to get my body stronger than ever and be able to move for as long as possible. With this long ramble, I just want to say thank you for being such a great inspiration and such a positive motivator to help me overcome what felt so hard for years. So yeah you rock Alex 😃
My heart is so full of joy and hope and gratitude for your beautiful life, Friend! ... I've never met you, but I'm sure I'm not alone in saying that I am so glad to see your videos and learn from your courageous, unstoppable spirit. Life is what we make of it, and you are clearly an extraordinary person with an awesome love of life! Sending you and your family and your friends a great big THANK YOU!! It's a joy to know you are in this world with us shining your gorgeous light so bright for all to see!
Good job bro!! Hella inspiring I couldn't even imagine putting myself through that big props to you!! I am a below knee amputee myself and running, biking, skateboarding, swimming with my prosthetic are hella challenging but it's stuff I love doing! Doing something like a marathon I used to say would be impossible for me. Thanks for proving me wrong! Much love brother
Alex you truely are an inspiration and a one of a kind person. I think the fact you even attempted a maraton, let alone made it 16 miles in is beyond bizare to me. Your videos inspire me to be the best I can, and you as a person bring a smile to my face
I know. It's absolutely reducoulous hoe much medical stuff cost. You can't tell me making a single running blade cost the same as building a whole bloomin car. That is impossible. It would have to have some crazy wiring or something. I know providers have also complained on how much they are forced to charge their patients for stuff. By the way you are absolutely totally awesome in what you did! I don't even think my rear end could even go half of what you did WITH my 2 legs. You are very strong and resilient. Inspirational and honesty makes us who don't do this feel lazy and bad. Keep up the great work!
My brother had cancer and due to complications had his leg amputated as well. Was in the clear for a short period of time and during that time, my family became very familiar with prosthetics, wheelchairs, and crutches… the cancer ended up re-emerging and he passed away in 2015. You remind me a lot of him and this video made me really emotional because this is exactly the kind of thing he would’ve done. Very glad I discovered this video and your story. Extremely inspiring and captivating. Thank you ❤❤❤
When people say the phrase not all heroes wear caps they are most of the time saying to doctors or firefighters, but they don’t look around to see the true heroes hidden behind the brush. You have inspired so many people to make the most of their disability, and even people without just to make the most of their lives because you never know what could happen. I wish that everyone can see that just doing one thing that makes you happy everyday can change your perspective on the world. All I can say is you are the hero without the cap whenever you go and I hope the I can inspire people to be the best version of themselves just like how you inspired me. ❤
You give me hope. I have wanted to run a marathon for a long time. I have wanted to run for longer. I am not able to walk at all right now and I’m in treatment so I really believe I can run someday. I also agree on how expensive all the medical stuff is. Thanks for the hope.
You are such an inspiration! I love your perspective on life! I was cheering for you the entire video! You did amazing! In my heart you were first in this marathon!❤️
I cannot thank you all enough for everything!!! In total 16 miles took me 7 hours, gonna be in a wheelchair for the next week with how sore my body is!
Hope you heal up well!
I can't say enough how much I appreciate you and all of your efforts. You are inspiring, beautiful, awesome young man. Now you know you can do it❤

You inspire me to become more competent with my crutches, because as mobility aids go they do offer so much freedom to adventure. At 18, cancer killed a section of my tibia & pelvis so even though I still have my leg I have a fairly daily step limit in hopes of reducing damage to the section that has survived. Mobility aids are essential; be them prosthetics, wheelchairs, crutches, of hinged braces, in letting people with disabilities experience the world.
You're an absolute inspiration - Thank you for putting out so much sunshine into such a dark world.
You’re incredible, man! To run a marathon (on crutches) is spectacular, but you did far more than that. You told your story, brought awareness to something so incredibly important, and have helped masses of people! I hope you remember that :)
What a freaking stud. So impressed my man. Seriously inspirational. Keep up the amazing work.
You truly are an inspiration
The fact the I have two legs and struggle to run 2 miles while your going up hills on crutches and I don’t even try, really speaks about the person you are ❤ you are so inspirational ❤❤
I struggle to run 1 mile
@@Lilithchrzan agree 👍
Bro youre such a freakin beast. I am in awe of your determination to keep pushing. You're amazing no matter how far you were able to push yourself. YOU DID IT BRO!!!! Way to freakin go!!!!
Hell ye bro, your goal in raising that money will go on to help someone who's in need of pushing beyond their limitations just like any other physically challenged athlete.
I have been through a lot and not what you have been through and thank you so much for showing others that you can do so much more than anyone thinks that you can when doctors have given up on you and you only have yourself and those who support you to do more you are a beautiful amazing human being thank you for being part of the human race we need others more like you
i like the way he looks so happy no matter the situation he is in. its encouraging
Fighting tears watching this bro you are such an inspiration. Last year i was temporarily paralyzed from a SCI and I'm had to learn how to walk again and I'm still perfecting it but just had to push myself to get through. Your strength to push through is so motivational and i love that you're not only sharing your story but pushing for everyone to be able to access for whatever they need medical if they need it. Im in the military so i was fortunate of having my medical expenses paid for but i can't imagine how i would be if i had to pay out of pocket. I probably would be in debt for the rest of my life for something i never asked for. thank you Alex!
grats on getting 16 miles my man! You were well under half an hour/mile and that's incredible! Some people would struggle to do that over that distance with both legs healthy! You continue to be an inspiration and an absolute joy of an entertainer. Can't wait to see what you do next
Absolute king keep inspiring
Sir, I salute you. You had my undying respect before but this is incredible.
You're such an inspiration and a beautiful soul. You did it and 16 miles is no small achievement. I love everyhing about this video and your purpose. I'm sending love. light and peace your way.
You are so strong man! 16 miles is still such an accomplishment. Most people could only dream of that. The fact you did it all on crutches is insane to me. I completely understand how frustrating not getting to the end must have been. Celebrate your accomplishments though brother. Keep on going Alex!
You gave it all you got man and the mist important thing is that you didn’t give up until yo couldn’t go anymore really happy for you hope u recover soon and stay strong 🙏🏻🫶🏻❤️👍🏼

You are an amazingly wonderful young
man.💐💐💐💐💐💐💫
You are such an inspiration! Congratulations on the marathon!
This was such a wholesome and motivating video!! You have so much willpower and did really good without barely any preparation. I hope you recover quickly!
You’re a legend, you deserve the world man!! You inspire all of us❤
Lesssssggooooooooo!!!!!!!!!
Many would've given up at an early stage, even without crutches, and looking at you brings me so much joy and energy that how you are able to deal with such things gives me mad respect brother, Happy to be a subscriber.
Thank you for sharing this journey. No matter how many miles you ran, you still ran a marathon. You're an inspiration to people who wouldn't register for such an event, but who still run toward goals. I'm interested to see what your next achievement will be- your bucket list seems to grow with each week, limited only by your imagination, which appears to be limitless. Thank you, again.
This is hauntingly powerful. Honest. Inspirational. THank you!~!
Alex you have my deepest respect. You pushed yourself byond and byond and raised so awareness. Also you ran further than i could 😂
Greetings from The Netherlands 🇳🇱
CONGRATULATIONS! You have came such a long way and you prove to many people that you can do anything even in difficult situations. Thanks for the motivation.❤
I'm a 62 year YOUNG German Guy, facing a leg amputation (that I'm waiting for, for about 2.5 to 3 years...).
A former Cancer Patient (Testicle, Lungs and Lymphsystem), so I definitely get the MOUNTAINS of suffering you had to come over with.
That's my first Congratulation.
Second is:
After taking part on this Marathon, I hope you realized that you are a WINNER! 🤓 DEFINITELY!
One mustn't make it to the Finish Line to win, or get a better "Time" or a "Distance".
People taking part in this, are winning the moment they decide to BE a part! Every Person is different. Everyone has its own Problems, obstacles, physically or mentally to deal with.
So when you do it, it's not a question of the classical "Success" and being better than a "Looser" to "Win" a Contest, most important is ones own DARING nature.
So you are a WINNER!
Logical?
I highly recommend you two Guys from Italy, where you can learn how to STRETCH in crutches and long distance hiking :
Andrea Devicenzi
Gianni Sasso
Have a look!
Send me good wishes. I'm DAMN SCARED for Autumn and Winter this Year!
GOOD LUCK TO YOU
☘️☘️☘️ and
THANK YOU for your Courage!!!
Wow! You are a champ for even thinking of doing this, and starting it!!! Well done!!
Crazy accomplishment! Can’t believe it. Incredible story too, thank you for sharing
SO PROUD OF YOU!! ❤❤
Thank you!!!
“There’s nothing that cleanses your soul like getting the hell kicked out of you so use what you’ve been through as fuel, believe in yourself and be unstoppable !! That video was amazing Alex so glad u did what u set out to as far as running the marathan you were a beast out there, u had such motivation and perseverance out there so kudos to you and THANK YOU for being such an inspiring positive and bad ass human😊 there needs to be more people in the world like you love you ,your videos and channel I'm learing alot from you and channel/videos ,about people and there prosthetics and there challenges and non challenging things😊❤
I'm so proud of you Alex! 16 miles is incredible. And it's all down to your hard work and dedication. Keep fighting the good fight and thank you so much for bringing even more awareness to what amputees have to deal with every day
Congrats!! 16 miles is such a huge accomplishment, especially on hardly a week of training. It's incredible that you're body was able to complete such an arduous and intense half-marathon on that amount of training. I'm excited to see what else you can accomplish when you put your heart, soul, mind, and body into it.
Also, hope your hands have recovered!
That was so emotional and powerful thank you for this❤
You are so tough and strong and really inspiring 😃 I've been told as a late teenager early twenty years old that i would be in a wheelchair when I hit 50. To be honest, it kinda broke me, and that with a lot of other things really took me down. I am now in my thirties, and I am determined to get my body stronger than ever and be able to move for as long as possible.
With this long ramble, I just want to say thank you for being such a great inspiration and such a positive motivator to help me overcome what felt so hard for years.
So yeah you rock Alex 😃
Wow what an inspiration you are Alex ! Congratulations on completing 16 miles that’s incredible 🎉
My heart is so full of joy and hope and gratitude for your beautiful life, Friend! ... I've never met you, but I'm sure I'm not alone in saying that I am so glad to see your videos and learn from your courageous, unstoppable spirit. Life is what we make of it, and you are clearly an extraordinary person with an awesome love of life! Sending you and your family and your friends a great big THANK YOU!! It's a joy to know you are in this world with us shining your gorgeous light so bright for all to see!
I'm not crying...... Someone is just cutting onions 😭😭😭
Inspiring. That is awesome. You are so positive and motivated. Thank you for showing us the best part of humanity.
So inspirational! You are an amazing advocate for prosthesis accessibility.
Good job bro!! Hella inspiring I couldn't even imagine putting myself through that big props to you!! I am a below knee amputee myself and running, biking, skateboarding, swimming with my prosthetic are hella challenging but it's stuff I love doing! Doing something like a marathon I used to say would be impossible for me. Thanks for proving me wrong! Much love brother
Alex you truely are an inspiration and a one of a kind person. I think the fact you even attempted a maraton, let alone made it 16 miles in is beyond bizare to me. Your videos inspire me to be the best I can, and you as a person bring a smile to my face
Man congrats and honestly i just noticed this but i love ❤️ your plants, Have a good one and I couldn't imagine doing what you did crutches or not.
You are so incredible! Your videos just show you are such a kind hearted, genuine person and I admire you so much!
This made me cry. You’re so strong. Thank you for doing this 🖤
I know. It's absolutely reducoulous hoe much medical stuff cost. You can't tell me making a single running blade cost the same as building a whole bloomin car. That is impossible. It would have to have some crazy wiring or something. I know providers have also complained on how much they are forced to charge their patients for stuff.
By the way you are absolutely totally awesome in what you did! I don't even think my rear end could even go half of what you did WITH my 2 legs. You are very strong and resilient. Inspirational and honesty makes us who don't do this feel lazy and bad. Keep up the great work!
You did fantastic brother! much love from VA
My brother had cancer and due to complications had his leg amputated as well. Was in the clear for a short period of time and during that time, my family became very familiar with prosthetics, wheelchairs, and crutches… the cancer ended up re-emerging and he passed away in 2015. You remind me a lot of him and this video made me really emotional because this is exactly the kind of thing he would’ve done. Very glad I discovered this video and your story. Extremely inspiring and captivating.
Thank you
❤❤❤
You are so strong! Good job
When people say the phrase not all heroes wear caps they are most of the time saying to doctors or firefighters, but they don’t look around to see the true heroes hidden behind the brush. You have inspired so many people to make the most of their disability, and even people without just to make the most of their lives because you never know what could happen. I wish that everyone can see that just doing one thing that makes you happy everyday can change your perspective on the world. All I can say is you are the hero without the cap whenever you go and I hope the I can inspire people to be the best version of themselves just like how you inspired me. ❤
Omg he actually did it. You're amazing man, you motivate me with every post of yours I see
I needed this today Alex.. just found out I’m about to lose my lower right leg after a bike crash.
Good man.
You give me hope. I have wanted to run a marathon for a long time. I have wanted to run for longer. I am not able to walk at all right now and I’m in treatment so I really believe I can run someday. I also agree on how expensive all the medical stuff is. Thanks for the hope.
we are all proud of your perseverance! GO ALEX!
You are such an inspiration! I love your perspective on life! I was cheering for you the entire video! You did amazing! In my heart you were first in this marathon!❤️
it’s actually so amazing how i don’t actually know you but i feel overwhelmingly proud of ur accomplishments. u are a true inspiration alex ❤️
Your mind is incredible, how you pushed your limits and also raise awareness for this is so amazing! You can be so proud of yourself ♥️
