He played sports in high school and Division 1 football in college. The insulin pump is the greatest invention until we have a cure! There were days when I thought we would never make it but by God's grace and miracles my son will help others throughout his life. You just never know how things are going to turn out. Good luck with the fund raiser! Been there, done that too.
What a blessing that his life turned out so wonderfully and he will pass on to future generations medically. I love doing charity gifts because they impact someone every day. We may well be the recipient of his knowledge someday :)
