Alex Parker was born in country Victoria and diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis at 6 weeks of age. She had a very normal childhood despite all the rigorous health routines to maintain her health.
But in her early 20s, her health started to deteriorate and she was in and out of hospital with lung infections. The future looked bleak until she was able to access an innovative new medicine.
However, she was only able to access it thanks to the generosity of her grandfather. So Alex and her family worked for more than four years to ensure others like her could access it in Australia.
Despite everything, Alex has established a successful career as a commercial advertising photographer, travelling the world to work on major campaigns.
She lives happily in Melbourne with her partner Michael, 4 year old daughter Ruby and dog Maxi.
Alex is joined by The Patient Voice Initiative Chair, patient advocate Jessica Bean.
