I am a Diabetes Champion because despite having been diagnosed at a very young age, I insist on living my life to the fullest. I do not believe in customizing my daily activities to fit into my diabetes care regimen, but rather, quite the opposite.

I hope that my activities as a JDRF volunteer will contribute to one day finding a cure for type 1 diabetes.

In the meantime, I own my diabetes, it does not own me!
