Jeff shares with deep emotion his immeasurable love for his daughter and her inconceivable challenges throughout her childhood.

He reflects on how we can choose to consistently show up and love someone every day of our lives and that the right blend of love, unwavering persistence and support in a child can manifest miracles.

He shares with deep emotion how his daughter is the most important thing he’s ever done in life.

In some of his parting words, Dr Jeff sums up it up so well.

The world needs good souls.

Yeah, they're born, but they're pliable.

They need good context to develop around.

I just feel for myself that each and every one of us should make the decision to show up and be the best that we can be for everybody day in and day out.

Yeah, we all have a tough life, but that shouldn't get in the way of us showing up with dignity, with honour and giving the best that we can give to other people.

May we all leave the field knowing there is nothing more we could have done.
