Jono Lancaster was abandoned by his parents at birth due to Treacher Collins syndrome, a condition affecting his facial features and hearing. He was adopted by Jean, a loving woman who gave him a home. Growing up, Jono faced bullying and struggled with his self-esteem.
However, a moment with a tough customer at his bartending job helped him regain confidence when the man made a lighthearted comment about Jono’s hearing aids. Now 36, Jono is a motivational speaker, encouraging others to embrace themselves. He believes that with the right attitude, anyone can overcome challenges.
