Who doesn’t remember Alex Stobbs, the British musical prodigy with cystic fibrosis who was the star of the Channel 4 “Cutting Edge” 2008 documentary “A Boy Called Alex”?

Some patients suffering from CF are celebrities or became celebrities due to their fight against the disease. Read more about their stories.

Later, in 2009, Channel 4 did a sequel: Alex: A Passion for Life.

Today we remember Alex’s strength and the willingness to do more with his life.

Thank you for inspiring us all.

Recently, Nick Talbot became the first person with CF to ever climb the tallest mountain in the world: Mount Everest.
