Building Alex's independent life

From home adaptations to wheelchair provision, sports prosthetics to lower limb prosthetics, the trust has supported Alex ever since he came back from hospital. The Trust enabled him to teach his son how to ride a bike by providing the hand cycle that meant he could ride alongside him.

The partnership that makes it possible

The Trust recruited a fundraising manager in 2014 and she has been by his side ever since. She manages the trust and supports Alex enabling his travel, community speaking engagements, end-user led research and the provision of peer-to-peer support to injured individuals and their families.

Maintaining day to day independence

All prosthetics and assistive technology have a shelf life of between 2-5 years. The equipment needs constant tweaks which also comes at a cost. The Trust has enabled Alex to live a full and independent life by being able to buy the right equipment on a continual basis.

Support the Alex Lewis Trust today

By supporting the Alex Lewis Trust, you contribute to enabling Alex to lead a fulfilling and independent life supporting others and championing the advancement of assistive technology.

In 2014, after rehabilitation, Alex sought to understand the full cost of his disability. He was sent to the USA where he was given a life quote: Alex’s quote for prosthetics, not including any other assistive technology, from the age of 35 - 65 was $4,000,000.

Alex’s life is dedicated to raising awareness of the prohibitive cost of assistive technology (AT). His aim is to make AT accessible for everyone, transforming lives for the aging population and the disabled community.
