"Jaden delivered a powerful keynote at our Healthy Active Learning National Hui that both challenged and inspired our workforce. Through his lived experience of his time in the education system - the good, the bad, and the ugly - he was able to demonstrate the negative impact of both subtle and systemic ableism, as well as how intentional inclusion can change lives.

Jaden was an absolute pleasure to work with leading up to the hui and he absolutely nailed the brief; he delivered a great balance of challenge, provocation, encouragement and practical ideas, through his own kōrero and by providing space and prompts for the delegates to kōrero and engage with the content."

"Thank you so much for joining us at our Sales, Category and Marketing conference in Queensland, and sharing your personal journey with us. Your story was incredibly moving and a true reminder of the power of resilience and positivity. The way you spoke about your experiences was both uplifting and inspiring, leaving a lasting impact on everyone in the room. We are truly grateful for your time and the encouragement you brought to our community."

"Jaden has been in and out of Starship all his life, with countless surgeries and lots of pain, but that hasn’t stopped him from achieving great things and inspiring others. Jaden’s tenacity and determination to become a top athlete see him keep on reaching new heights with his sport, and off the field, he is just as impressive.

Jaden has been an amazing ambassador for Starship since he was very young. He has always been driven to give back to the hospital where he’s spent so much time. He started by fundraising as a youngster shaking buckets in street appeals, and now, he has proven to be an empowering speaker at many Starship Foundation events.

Jaden has graciously shared his story with humility, compassion and vitality, and our donors and guests always leave feeling motivated and connected. "

“You are a trail-blazing, mega-talent and much needed in this world.”

“Jaden, I hope you had a fun time coming to our school. You were really inspiring showing us that no matter who you are or what you are, you can do anything.”

“Jaden's captivating story of perseverance and resilience resonated deeply with our students. He shared how the Paralympic values of courage, determination, inspiration, and equality have shaped his life journey. Jaden's visit was a highlight of our term.

His kindness, patience, and willingness to answer our questions created a memorable and impactful experience. We are grateful for the opportunity to learn from such an inspiring athlete.”

“Jaden, thank you so much for coming to see the children today. I really think that during these times in hospital, it offers a ray of hope and empowerment when they meet people like yourself who have been through the struggle, the scans, the surgeries, the treatments and have come out the other side still smiling and willing to help and encourage others.

Your strength and determination are a ray of hope to me as well. Being Jack’s voice and advocate can be challenging but meeting you reminded me how strong I am as well and reminded me of why I fight for Jack.”

"We are incredibly proud to have Jaden as part of our Paralympic Education programme 'Seeing is Believing' as a Harvey Norman Para Sport Champion. His impact on our community so far has been immeasurable through his ability to connect with students, share his experiences, and motivate them to reach for their dreams.

Through our programme, Jaden has shown our students what it truly means to overcome adversity and push beyond limitations and his dedication and passion for Para sport and advocacy is a true testament to his resilience and determination. "
