The inspiring story from 2025 NSW Young Australian of the Year Nominee, Alex Noble, whose wisdom and strength can teach us all how to live life to the fullest, no matter what it throws at us.
Sixteen-year-old Alex Noble was a high school rugby star with a promising sporting career ahead of him when an on-field injury left him fighting for his life in the ICU. Following a four-day coma and a diagnosis of C4 quadriplegia, Alex's first words to his brother Zac were, 'If I fight, you fight.' These words became a war cry as Alex's friends, family and community rallied around him, watching in awe as he fought to regain control over his body and defy his diagnosis.
From learning to breathe and move again to travelling the world, starting his own business, and even going skydiving, Alex's story is about the power of mastering your own mind, finding happiness and taking risks to achieve your goals – no matter how out of reach they may seem. Full of warmth, humour and insight, this is an audiobook that will teach you principles to live your life by, written by a young man who has put them into practice.
I Fight, You Fight is so much more than an inspiring memoir – it's a philosophy for finding happiness and reaching your true potential.

Alex's achievements, perspective and message have inspired thousands to strive for their own goals and become happier.
