Next week Black Hill Primary School students will take part in  Kids Dream Day, when children are asked to dress up as their dream career, to raise money for brain cancer research and awareness. 

Pleasant Street Primary School took part in the initiative at the end of the year, but the opportunity exists for every school in Ballarat to take part. 

“He would love for every school to do it, and as many schools around the world to get involved,” his mother Jodie said. 

Jaxon has been battling Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma, a type of brain tumor, since early 2014.

The dream day event was started as part of the Isabella and Marcus Foundation to raise funds for world-first research into paediatric brainstem tumours.

Ms Cooper said Jaxon had previously approached a number of schools about taking part in the day. 

Jaxon has been working on completeing a bucket list of activities and only recent crossed another one off his list. 

He met with Prime Minister Tony Abbott. 

Ms Cooper said the meeting went for around half an hour.

“It was something we never thought would happen,” she said. 

“The PM sat with him and talked with him. Jaxon also told him all about the dream day and why it was so important.”

Ms Cooper said Jaxon was also able to talk with Mr Abbott about his cancer and the need for funding for research. 

He also gave Mr Abbott a copy of the Black Hill Primary School cookbook. 

Earlier this year, thanks to the community’s generosity, Jaxon flew to America to watch his favourite NBA team, the New York Knicks.

The Athlete’s Foot Ballarat owners Paul and Andrea Tudorovic heard of “Jaxon’s Journey” via Facebook and decided to help out in August last year. 

Mr Tudorovic, a former Ballarat Miners coach, used a New York basketball contact to organise a signed singlet and game tickets.

While Jaxon didn’t get to meet his favourite basketballer, Carmelo Anthony, he did meet former New York Knicks shooting guard John Starks.

While visiting the United States, he also saw the Statue of Liberty, walked down the Hollywood walk of fame, hugged Micky and Goofy at Disney World and dressed up as a zombie hunter for Halloween.

He even had his name plastered across the scoreboard at Madison Square Gardens in front of thousands of people.

If your school would like to take part, email Jodie_25@bigpond.com or search for the Facebook page “Jaxon’s Journey”.
