Jono is an advocate for self love, surrounding yourself with epic people and being the biggest hero in your own life.

Born with a visible difference in a world obsessed with image and looks, Jono was left in the hospital at birth born. His journey to today has not been straightforward but nothing has stopped him from loving himself, showing his authentic self to the world and filling his life with love and adventure.

Jono will lead Love My Face for Channel 4 later this year, a 4 part series following people with a range of visible facial differences as they seek support, advice and explore transformative treatments to help accept or address their differences.

In is memoir, Not All Heroes Wear Capes, Jono shares his remarkable story, the highs and lows of his journey and how he turned his differences into his greatest strengths.

Jono is co-founder of the Love Me Love My Face Foundation, set up to raise awareness of Treacher Collins Syndrome & Craniofacial Conditions, supporting families and educating individuals & the public.

Jono is a passionate disability campaigner, public speaking to audiences around the world and engaging young people through talks in schools, encouraging all to find their own self-love alongside tolerance, acceptance and kindness.

“Jono’s recent visits to our school are nothing short of transformative. With his inspirational speeches, he has raised our children’s awareness of differences and the importance of acceptance. Jono, who has Treacher Collins syndrome, speaks candidly about embracing who you are and the impact of kindness. He shared his own experiences of being bullied as a child, yet his story is one of resilience and triumph. Despite the challenges he faced, Jono holds his head high and never hides his appearance. His smile is infectious, and his determination to help others shines through in every word he speaks. Jono is a living testament to the power of positivity and perseverance, and his presence as a role model with a facial disfigurement is invaluable. Jono’s ability to connect with our students was truly remarkable. He allowed them to confront and accept differences in a meaningful way. His personality, empathy, and genuine kindness resonated deeply, especially when he spoke with two of our looked-after children, relating to them through their shared experiences of being in care. Our children were captivated by Jono, and his message of acceptance and kindness has left a lasting impression. He is an extraordinary human being whose influence will be felt long after his visit. We are profoundly grateful for the inspiration and positive impact Jono has brought to our school community.” Nichola Clark | Hill Top Academy
“Swimming in a coral reef: that’s what it is like when Jono Lancaster addresses your group. Jono has an incredible capacity to meet his audience at the surface and take them on a journey deep inside themselves via his own engaging and expertly told story. As he opens, he instantly connects with listeners, truly paramount for a keynote speaker, which Jono has done for us twice. He also has a way to help others discover beauty in themselves, which has been so powerful when he’s spoken at fundraisers for us, full of executives and high net worth individuals. He has also led workshops from groups of siblings of people with disabilities to young adults with facial differences, from parents grasping for hope to diverse groups just meeting for the first time. In every instance, Jono not only delivers an emotional and compelling message, but takes time to work the room, connecting with individuals and making them feel seen and heard. He also helps them connect with one another, opening hearts and minds. Just like the boundless wonders you can discover upon each visit to a coral reef, you’ll never see or hear the same talk twice from Jono: while the story stays the same and the execution is reliable, new discoveries, nuances, and poignant moments are uncovered with every visit he shares with our group.” Erica Klauber | Executive Director | Children’s Craniofacial Association
