Tonight, the schoolboy will walk out hand-in-hand NRL captain Joel Thompson when the Indigenous All Stars team run out onto the field at Robina Stadium.

His mother said it was his dream to be a footy player, but he knew it wasn’t a reality for him.

“This is the closest thing for him to be able to get out on that field for him to play football. And if all he can do is run the boys out then that’s enough for us,” she said.

ONE CEO Chatri Sityodtong has even offered free MMA lessons.

The worldwide reaction comes after Quaden and his mother Yarraka appeared on indigenous Australian TV channel NITV today to thank the nine-year-old’s supporters.

During the interview, Quaden encouraged others to stand up for themselves when face-to-face with a bully.

“If you get bullied, just stand up for yourself and don’t listen to what they say,” he said.

The 9-year-old also believes it’s up to parents to educate their children.

“The parents should make their kids be nice to people with disabilities,” he said.

Describing the reaction to the video, Quaden’s mother said, “Not in our wildest dreams would we have thought it would go worldwide and created such a media frenzy.”
