Imagine being abandoned by your parents for being too ugly..... This man Jono Lancaster was rejected at birth by his parents , but he stayed positive.
Jono Lancaster, now 33, is a victim of Treacher Collins syndrome—a genetic disorder that affects the facial bones development while in the mother’s womb—there are no cheekbones, so the eyes droop down...
He was abandoned by his parents 36 hours after his birth. Then a wonderful woman named Jean Lancaster adopted Jono and raised him.
When he was at school, he started feeling different from other kids due to his facial structure. He said that his classmates would run away saying they did not want to catch his disease. When he was a teenager, he started being very rebellious, not because he was a bad person, but because of his pain. He even used to bribe people with sweets so that they would like him.
“I was desperate to have friends, I’d do anything. I had no confidence. I’d buy sweets and give them to the other kids so that they’d like me,” he said in an interview.
He later completed diploma and joined a gym. Other people there took an instant liking to him. While working out at gym, he fell in love with a beautiful woman named Laura. They became inseparable..
Jono and Laura bought a house together in Normanton, West Yorkshire. The couple have busy lives and Jono now works as a team leader for adults with autism. He believes everything has a reason. Mr. Lancaster is devoted to bringing awareness to the public about Treachers Collins Syndrome, and how to deal with it.
He met with many kids around the world and inspired them to not give up. He now earns tonnes of money by giving speeches...
