This is the man in the iron lung. For 71 years he has lived in this metal box because it keeps him alive. But despite this - he has done incredible things with his life. This is the inspiring true story of Paul Richard Alexander.
Thank you to Paul for welcoming us into your home.

I also massively appreciate the effort he went to of telling people about his story often, especially around the time where a lot of people are / were antivax and trying to make others stop getting vaccines, because that is what can bring polio and other almost rotted out diseases back. A living Legend, he deserves all happiness that comes to him.

We fall back facing little problems in our life but this man lived 70 years all by his mouth and most importantly not in despondency but with sheer will power achieving everything he wanted. He was living miracle ✨

She didn't have an iron lung to live in, but she lived long enough to make her most famous works. Respect to this man, who became an accomplished lawyer, and has done amazing things with his life when he couldn't even move his muscles! Truly an inspiration.
