Since the age of 5, diabetes has helped motivate me to get active, set goals, and challenge myself.  Two years ago, I participated in my first sprint triathlon and discovered the joy of triathlon and multisport events.  Since then, I’ve run a marathon, participated in several other triathlons and races, and been through nursing school.  When I learned about Triabetes and Insulindependence, I was so blown away by the community of diabetics and their inspiring achievements that I knew I wanted to get involved.  I am so excited about this opportunity to encourage other diabetics and to meet those around the country who are maximizing their lives with diabetes.
