Superfan shares fragile X message with ABC newsrooms across Australia
Newcastle teenager Hayden Eastbury is halfway through his mission to visit every ABC bureau in Australia, marking the occasion on his 18th birthday.
Hayden Eastbury, a young man living with fragile X syndrome, has made headlines after travelling across Australia and visiting most of the ABC's 56 bureaus. The purpose of his journey, which has taken nearly 20 months, was to honor his love for the public broadcaster and provide new opportunities for personal growth. As Hayden turns 18, presenting staff from across the country have come together to celebrate his milestone with a special surprise.
This initiative has not only raised awareness of fragile X syndrome but has also highlighted the unique strengths and abilities of individuals with disabilities.
