Meet Jon Hare, a spirited 17-year-old from Readyville, TN, who’s bringing his zest for life to Project Rollway! After sustaining a brain injury in a motor vehicle accident on September 9, 2023, Jon’s resilience and passion for life have only grown stronger.

Jon enjoys hunting, fishing, playing baseball, and farming. He dreams of graduating high school, going to college, and landing a great job. His hope for the Shepherd Center and the world is the discovery of a treatment to regenerate and heal nerves and brain tissue.
