Jon Acton Pt 1: Facing Cancer with Friendship and Resilience
Update: 2024-06-11
Description
Jon Acton, a husband, father, author, and motivational speaker who has been on an extraordinary journey. Jon shares his personal story of being diagnosed with stage 3 rectal cancer, along with two of his closest teacher friends, all within a 10-month period.
I believe Jon Acton is a true inspiration. After a successful career as an educator and school superintendent, he found himself medically retired in July 2022 due to his cancer diagnosis. However, this setback has not deterred Jon from making the most of his time and having a lasting impact. He is the creator of "Broken Shells," a platform that invites people to reflect on their life stories, their "whys, why nots, and what ifs."
"If we tried to pitch this movie to Hollywood, they would laugh us out of any presentation, say, you're making this up. There are times I wish we were, but we're not."
