Hello, I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes when I was 15 years old. That day was 34 years ago! I am a very active Type 1 Diabetic that tries to stay healthy to help control my Type 1 Diabetes.
I want to inspire other Type 1 Diabetics to do anything they want to do. I want to encourage younger Type 1's to be brave with T1D and live a full life.
I am doing a challenge on World Diabetes Day on November 14th to show how much we can do. I will be doing a Virtual Everest Challenge which will have me using my bike on a smart trainer. I will be climbing the height of Mt. Everest in one day. https://everesting.cc/virtual/ The challenge is very difficult but being diabetic is not easy either.
I appreicate any support you can provide to Team Type 1 Foundation that represents my approach to T1D.
WE ARE TEAM TYPE 1
Our mission is to show the world that with proper health, exercise and equal access to medicine, anyone with diabetes can achieve their dreams.
