"Today you put on a gladiator effort. You showed the doubters why you are far from over but more importantly you inspired so many young kids watching that if you can achieve this from your humble beginnings that they can too. There have been an incredible amount of lows lately but you showed everyone that with sheer grit, will and determination that anything is possible.

She further added, "Ivy, Indi, Isla and myself are so proud of you. You’re the best Dad ever!!!"
