In 2013, Alex Lewis was given a mere 3% chance to survive. What started as a simple trip to the hospital for what he thought was the flu turned into a life-or-death battle. Within hours, his skin turned purple, and doctors discovered that a Group A streptococcal infection had triggered deadly sepsis. 💉💔

As his organs began to fail, doctors were prepared to turn off his life support, but Alex made an incredible, life-altering decision. In a moment of unimaginable bravery, he chose to amputate all four limbs and part of his face, just to stay alive. 🦿🦾😔 The surgeries were grueling, the recovery excruciating, but Alex’s resolve never faltered. His spirit remained unbroken, a true testament to the power of courage in the face of overwhelming adversity. 🌈🙏

Today, Alex stands as a beacon of strength, a motivational speaker, and activist who proves that even after losing everything, one can still find strength, purpose, and hope. 🌍✨ He often says that the hardest year of his life was also the best, because it gave him a second chance to live — and to inspire others with his story of resilience.

Alex’s journey is a reminder that when life gives you only 3%, you can turn it into 100% courage. His story is a living testament to the human spirit’s ability to fight, adapt, and rise again, no matter the odds.
