Jaden is an inspirational little boy who was born with the most severe form of spina bifida totalling more than 18 medical conditions, and has endured hundreds of procedures including 22 surgeries in his past 12 years of life. Despite this, he epitomizes what life is all about - love, laughter, empathy, purpose and passion. He continually inspires others with determination, courage and positivity, and teaches us that no matter what challenges we are facing, we always have a choice in how we deal with them.
