Every day is disability day for me. Sometimes it's incredible. Sometimes it's a slog. Sometimes it's down right awful. But every day it's worth celebrating. Not just the 3rd of December! I'm not going to hide my pride in my awesomeness for the rest of the year! #IDPWD2021

Jaryd, you've done Victoria proud today.

To stand up on that podium is an honour few will ever have. It's an achievement most could never obtain.

You gave it everything, and then some more. And for that, you should hold your head so very high.

Our entire state is proud of you.
