UNFLAPPABLE
Soaring Beyond a Diagnosis

by Jonathan A. Hutton

Also available through:

A journey with rare disease, a dream of flying

When Jonathan first threw his parachute—in that instant—the rushing air was still, the falling stopped, and a dream of flying began to take shape. He began to dream of soaring, free from the burdens he carried, held in the sky by a fabric wing. A cancer diagnosis began a cascade—surgeries, treatments, recurrences, and life-altering side effects. Learning to fly felt impossible.

Told with candor, vivid detail, and flashes of humor, Unflappable: Soaring Beyond a Diagnosis is more than a story of rare disease, it’s about learning from hardship, finding community, and discovering healing, even when cures are out of reach. Jonathan shares how he learned to accept a body forever changed, let go old identities, and move through turbulent moments in life with grace and resilience.

Discovering gratitude and acceptance

For anyone touched by disease or disability, those who fly or dream, for medical practitioners seeking greater understanding, Unflappable offers an honest and compelling look at what it means to live fully in the face of uncertainty.
