Back in July last year I posted an entry Living Life to the Fullest. It eventually landed on BBC 3's website and since then it has been Relentless Karla's top post for over 7 months now. Clearly, it wasn't just I who was touched by the remarkable story of Alex Lewis' short albeit sweet life. Every week I get reminded by Alex whenever I see the hits in my blog and however bad my day has been it never fails to cheer me up.
In 2011 I tried a lot of things that scared me and pushed myself out of my comfort zone and it was one of the best years of my life! Unconsciously I was partly doing it because after watching Alex's story it made me realise more how blessed I am to be healthy and alive. And even though I didn't know Alex personally, I felt like I owed it to him.
I mentioned in my post last year that I was dis-appointed that the documentary wasn't more mainstream as I believe it needs more recognition and should be seen by the masses. Today, I was so ecstatic to finally have found a copy of the full documentary on YouTube. I hope more people see's the video and hopefully it will help The Bone Cancer Research Trust to create more awareness about the rare form of cancer Osteosarcoma. Alex agreed to do the documentary for that purpose and his family was kind enough to share their angel Alex to the world. So please do me a favour. Watch the video below and share it to everyone you know and here's to hoping that they will do the same too. This is my little way of helping to keep Alex's legacy alive.
This documentary and Alex's life story changed my life forever. I hope it changes yours too. Gezzelig!

Inspite of so much pain he is going through he still manages to smile for everyone. Truly touching. May he rest in peace.
Indeed! He was such a credit to his family, wife and friends even up until now. His legacy lives on! Alex's smile will forever be ingrained in my memory. It's true what they say - its not how long you live that matters but instead its how well you live it.
You're right, as one of Alex's close friends he is a true inspiration and i count myself lucky each and every day to have known him and shared so many good memories. thanks for spreading the word
