Heartbreaking news about the brave Alex Able has touched so many hearts. At just 30, Alex lost his battle with a rare Rhabdoid tumour, leaving behind his loving wife Elle, friends, and family. Known for his love of Harley-Davidsons and Metallica, Alex was a creative soul with a passion for life that shone through his personality and talents.
Diagnosed last year as the UK’s first known case, Alex faced his journey with courage and hope. His story captured the attention of medical minds far and wide, resulting in a pioneering treatment plan. Tragically, Alex passed away shortly after starting this new approach due to a sudden brain bleed.
In honour of Alex’s dream, his family is dedicating themselves to establishing The Alex Able Retreat. With his passion for making a real difference, Alex envisioned a haven for those in similar situations, a place to heal and find solace. The retreat will offer lodges designed to support and comfort souls in need, free of charge.
The retreat was a vision close to Alex’s heart, wanting others to have what he never did when in need of care and peace. Set to be based in the tranquil Shropshire countryside, it aims to provide an oasis for reflection, recovery, and treasured moments with loved ones.
Elle and her family are pouring their hearts into this legacy, planning to relocate and turn this vision into reality. Already, they’re laying the groundwork by registering with the Charities Commission, while funds are being collected via a dedicated GoFundMe page.
Alex’s legacy is a gift of hope—a refuge in times of darkness, and a reminder that compassion and community can light the way forward. If you’d like to help keep Alex’s spirit alive and support The Alex Able Retreat, donations are warmly welcomed. Together, we can ensure his dreams live on, helping others when they need it most.
