Four years ago today, I woke up from surgery and the first words to my neurosurgeon and family were, “I am ready to fight and go to war with this.” The battle continues, the work slowly pays off. Thank you all for the support always! #noquit #nobaddays

Jake Thibeault was paralyzed from the waist down in 2021 in his final hockey season at Milton Academy. Yesterday, Thibeault stood from his wheelchair and walked across the stage as a Babson College graduate AND the school's 2026 commencement speaker. Here's his speech. 👇🏼
