Resilience and the Birth of Truth In Solar

A Journey of Resilience and the Birth of Truth In Solar

In 2019, our family faced a profound challenge when our son, Strong Jackson Wright, was diagnosed with pineoblastoma, a rare brain tumor. This journey was not only a testament to Strong’s resilience and faith but also a turning point that inspired the founding of Truth In Solar.

Strong's Battle and Triumph

Strong's journey has been one defined by resilience and unwavering faith. Despite the immense challenges, Strong's spirit, supported by our community, carried him through extensive treatments, including proton therapy and chemotherapy. His triumph over adversity, symbolized by the moment he rang the bell at the end of his proton therapy, reinforced the power of hope and perseverance.

Throughout his treatment, Strong's courage and determination shone brightly. His baptism on March 24, 2019, was a public declaration of faith, where he chose a verse from Psalms 23:4: "Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me." This verse became his source of strength, embodying his belief in overcoming adversity.

In the face of his diagnosis, Strong embarked on a fierce battle, undergoing proton therapy and six rounds of chemotherapy. On March 23, 2020, Strong joyfully rang the bell, marking the end of his proton therapy. This milestone celebrated not just the completion of treatment but the hope and resilience that inspired everyone who supported him. Despite undergoing gamma knife surgery for a second tumor, Strong maintained his positive spirit and inspired others facing similar battles. On January 18, 2022, a significant milestone was reached when an MRI showed no signs of the brain tumors. The very next day, Strong proudly represented the Miami County boys swim team at a home meet, a testament to his determination and the unwavering support of our community. Today, Strong is four years in remission, serving as a beacon of hope and resilience.

From Personal Adversity to Advocacy

During Strong's treatment, I delved into researching medical cases, trials, and various treatment options, including holistic approaches. I encountered alarming statistics revealing that 80% of cancers are caused by environmental factors. This discovery prompted me to dig deeper, leading to a compelling thesis by a University of Michigan student. The thesis posed an intriguing question: what if every home could adopt rooftop solar? How much impact would that have on our environment, particularly in regions heavily affected by factory emissions and higher cancer rates?

This realization was transformative for me. I felt like I had found a way to help others battling this devastating disease while simultaneously addressing environmental issues to prevent other families from enduring similar hardships. With this newfound resolve, I declared my intention to become an advocate for solar education, focusing on knowledge and advocacy for solar energy rather than weapons of war. My mission became clear: to learn everything about solar energy and educate others about its financial benefits and potential to significantly reduce our carbon footprint.

Founding Truth In Solar

Driven by personal experience and a commitment to ethical standards, I entered the solar industry, leading to the founding of Truth In Solar. Witnessing firsthand the environmental impact on my son's health due to his cancer diagnosis propelled me to advocate for ethical standards in an industry often overshadowed by profit motives.

The disparity I observed, highlighted by industry practices that prioritize financial gain over ethical responsibility, underscored the urgent need for consumer protection and transparency. At Truth In Solar, we are committed to ensuring that consumers are informed, protected, and empowered to make the best decisions for their families and the environment. By promoting ethical practices and rigorous auditing, we strive to create a solar industry that prioritizes health, sustainability, and integrity over profits.

Together, inspired by Strong’s strength and the support of our community, we can transform our world, one rooftop at a time. Strong Jackson Wright’s story reminds us all of the strength of the human spirit and the impact of community support, demonstrating that with faith, determination, and the support of loved ones, we can overcome even the most daunting obstacles.
