    My name is Matthew and I am 14 years old, and You're my biggest role model, I recently had to lose my right leg because of a flesh eating bacteria, and every time I tried to walk I kept falling, because I wasn't used to not having my right leg, but watching your videos helped me find techniques to help me balance and learn to live without my leg, know your worth, and please keep making videos, they inspire a lot of people, and may God be with you

    i couldn’t even tell you how many days i woke up with my amputation and just wanted to stay home in isolation. i hated being different from other people and not being able to do things that others could. but alex is 100% correct. really appreciate the little things in life. appreciate the people around you. appreciate the world. alex, keep doing what you’re doing man. you inspire more people than you know, including myself.

    My husband lost his right leg below the knee last month to type I diabetes. He's 72. In denial that it could ever be him, after all, look how long he beat it! Lived under a lucky star since he was 17 years old believing the vascular disease from diabetes happened to other people, not him. He had healthy kidneys, healthy eyes, healthy feet. Until he cut his toe and it wouldnt heal. They took his toe but it wouldnt heal. They took his foot and it still won't heal. He believes he's too old to adapt. I told him we should have written out and gotten started on that bucket list a long time ago instead of waiting until I retired last year. Now we both feel the recovery, the strength needed to get him through this and back on two feet again will take everything we have left in us and there wont be time for the bucket list. You speak about the threat of dying, the cancer, as being the motivator to live each day as if it was your last. Old age is like a cancer too, threatening to rob you of time. The regrets flood me with despair.

    You are such an incredible inspiration to me, after all that you went through, you still keep on smiling more than any person I have seen. It's crazy, how so many people are living such lucky and privileged lives, and yet mourn and complain about the simplest of things. and i cant exclude myself in that sometimes.
    Something about me being very insecure and anxious whenever im outside and watching you smile despite everything wants me to just get out there with a big grin on my face - Wish you all the best, you don´t know how much you inspire me to change things and I gotta thank you for that! Keep it up!

People tell me that every thing I overcame is a miracle but you my friend are what I strive to be. Thank you for being so amazing.

Some days are better than others. The doctor said I got really lucky. I never experienced what Alex has gone through but every step I take I'm super grateful for.

    Hello mate! So happy the mysterious algorithm let me find you. I found a prosthetic leg in a dumpster a few years back. A C-Leg. No charging equip, so I don't know if it works. Is there a way to find the original owner, to try to re-unite them? Or, can they be donated to individuals? (I heard conflicting things like, no, they are tailor-made and can't be re-used.) I'm hurtin for money but, it's more important for someone in-need to have this, rather than scrap it. Thank you!

    Alex, I have a question. I have thanatophobia, the fear of death. I don’t want to ask my parents for a therapist because one, I don’t want to accept that my fear is bringing me to the state that I need to get help and two, because therapy costs so much and my family is struggling. I know my parents would get the therapy, and that’s the bad part because I don’t want them to use that much money in me. Please just tell me: how did you cope with death being upon you when you had cancer? How did you deal with that? I struggle with this a lot and finally figured out I could ask you. This would make my life so much better- just some words to live by. Thanks man! You’re a great guy!
