Jess Ronne:

LABELED AS A WIDOWED MOTHER OF EIGHT WHO CARES FOR THE CAREGIVERS

Jess Ronne is no stranger to the unexpected. After her son Lucas had a stroke in utero and was born with profound special needs, Jess soon thereafter lost her beloved husband to brain cancer. Forever the fighter, Jess turned hardship into hope becoming a renowned author, speaker, podcast host, documentary producer, and caregiver advocate. She is the founder and executive director of The Lucas Project—a non-profit dedicated to providing recognition, resources, and respite for special needs families, as well as author of her brilliant memoir “Sunlight Burning at Midnight”, and soon to be released second book, “Blended with Grit and Grace”. Jess lives with her eight children and husband Ryan in Tennessee and can be found on The Today Show, Daily Mail, Huffington Post and www.jessplusthemess.com.
