This 4-Year-Old Boy Wants Everyone To Stand Tall For Dwarfism

Meet Quaden Bayles, the Brisbane boy born with dwarfism who wants to raise awareness of the condition.


Meet Quaden.



Quaden was born with achondroplasia, the most common form of dwarfism. It’s a genetic disorder that stunts bone growth and has serious health complications.

Quaden has had four major surgeries, with an average of eight procedures each operation. Surgery is risky because achondroplasia causes shortness of breath and Quaden could stop breathing under the anaesthetic.

"Every surgery is either going to kill him or save him," says Quaden's mother Yarraka Bayles.

Quaden has been in hospital for the past month after undergoing emergency surgery to stop fluid from putting pressure on his brain and spinal cord.
