My diabetes turns eleven this weekend.

Please excuse Chris from class, he was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes.

I’ve done a lot of things since that weekend in 2002. Some of them because of diabetes. Others in spite of that diagnosis. The common thread is that I’m still here living my life. Diabetes wasn’t the end. I won’t let it.

A lot has happened since 2002, but there’s far too much that’s going to happen in the future for me to stop now.

I’ve come a long way, but I’m not done yet.

Also, I’m fundraising. If you’ve got $5 to spare – http://main.diabetes.org/goto/stepoutspartacus2013

Enjoy the weekend.
