Last year i watched the men's health survival of the fittest at Cardiff bay and apart from the obvious of watching lots of fit men competing, I told myself i would compete next year, well the year came around fast and the video scares me! Two days after thinking about taking part i watched a documentary Alex a life fast forward. The story of a young man with just months to live, who is determined to live what remains of his life to the full. "i just say yes to everything" Alex. 

Alex Lewis knows he does not have much longer to live. Aged 21 he finds himself falling hopelessly in love and can't quite believe what's happening.

Alex was first diagnosed with bone cancer shortly before his 18th birthday. After over three years of intensive treatment, he realises he is running out of options. He decides to cram as much life as possible into the time he has left. His remarkable zest for life is contagious.

 

On the first day of filming in June, 2010 his only sadness is not being able to commit to a long-term relationship. That evening he goes to a party in Swansea, kisses a girl, falls in love and within weeks they are inseparable. In September Alex and Ali become engaged to be married. This is a story of the power of love, as a young man confronts his mortality in the most emotionally charged circumstances imaginable.

Inspired by Alex's determination and zest for life i will be taking part this year and raising money for Bone cancer research trust.

I just need to learn how to run without passing out!
