Join Me in Supporting Buddy Cruise Inc.

Hi! My name is Alexander (Alex), and I live with cerebral palsy. Over the years, I’ve had the incredible privilege of being part of Buddy Cruise Inc., an organization that has truly changed my life—and the lives of so many others in the special needs community.

Buddy Cruise is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that provides educational opportunities and resources for families, while promoting awareness, inclusion, and advocacy for individuals with special needs. Their signature event is an annual “conference at sea,” on a Royal Caribbean cruise ship, where families from around the world come together for workshops, networking, and unforgettable experiences that uplift and empower.

Being part of this community has given me confidence and a deep sense of purpose. It has also opened doors to valuable resources—especially through its workshops—which have helped me and countless others in many ways. That’s why I’ve dedicated myself to giving back and helping others discover what Buddy Cruise has to offer.

A couple of years ago, I had the amazing opportunity to team up with Chef Robert Irvine from the Food Network for a special fundraising event. It was a powerful experience—and we captured it all in a short video. I’d love for you to take a moment to watch it and get inspired:

This fundraising page is my latest effort to support Buddy Cruise and ensure even more families can benefit from its life-changing programs. Every dollar you give goes directly toward creating inclusive, empowering experiences for people of all abilities.

Thank you so much for your support—it means the world to me.
