I will never forget the impact that seeing Paul Alexander’s photo in a science textbook had on me when I was 8 years old.

I can still recall the text about the consequences and sequels from polio and underlining the importance of vaccines in eradicating it.

The thought of a life trapped in a metal tube haunted me in my deepest nightmares.

“It is part of me”, was his response when questioned about the machine.

Thanks for the lessons Paul.
