Since 2018, Jason has been helping sick kids become superheroes. After watching his then one-year-old daughter Angela undergo chemotherapy （化疗）, he came up with the idea of "Supertees". Designed with a cape, the shirts act as a virtual armour （盔甲） for children fighting the worst villain of all- cancer.
"Sitting by her hospital bed I. knew there was nothing I could do to help Angela, until I noticed how hard it was to change her clothes while she was connected to various monitors. This is when the idea for the Supertee was born, " says Jason, whose daughter had a rare cancer then.
Created to look like a superhero costume, for Jason, the medical garments are all about enabling children to see themselves as the strong superheroes they idolise. "We want these kids to feel like, and be recognized as, the heroes that we see them as, "he tells.
Now Jason has teamed up with Disney to launch a new Marvel Edition tee. And he's got some very "super" friends helping him out! Actors Larson and Chris have lent their support, sharing special video messages for the kids who receive a new Supertee modelled after their costumes.
The collaboration with Disney is special for Jason. "I promised I would take her to Disneyland the moment we could leave the hospital, " says Jason, a pledge they happily fulfilled.
Since June 2018, Jason and his team have delivered more than 13, 000 Supertees to sick children in hospitals around Australia, including Melbourne schoolboy Riley Sinclair, who was diagnosed with a serious disease at just seven years old.
For Riley's mum Tammy, the Supertee was a game changer for her son, now 11, helping him feel less afraid and making hospital visits more comfortable. "When Riley puts his tee on, his whole personality will change and he feels like he can face anything. It's amazing!" explains Tammy.
