Drawing upon wisdom, leadership, parenthood, and a 35-year career as a sports marketing executive, author/speaker and local Southporter Stephen Panus shares his journey of turning pain into purpose, overcoming adversity and finding strength in vulnerability as chronicled in his highly acclaimed memoir, "Walk On".
Joining Panus for a conversation about Walk On is Westport's own Lindsay Czarniak of Fox Sports, who led the program and entertained questions from the audience.
Panus suffered through every parent's most horrific nightmare — the loss of a child. On August 9, 2020, his 16-year-old son, Jake, was a passenger killed in a reckless and senseless crash on Block Island while away with his girlfriend and her family.
"Walk On" is an inspiring and emotionally powerful story which transcends grief, loss, and love, and provides hope for anyone suffering from any form of adversity, struggle, or hardship. Moreover, it's an authentic story of a father who honors that "our vulnerability is our strength" and therefore takes the reader where few men have gone — to the raw underbelly of surviving the sudden and tragic loss of his beloved son.
