“When I got diagnosed with Type One Diabetes, I wasn’t sure if I would ever be able to play sports again and it’s hard being an athlete and living with this invisible challenge. My mentor Nate showed me that anything is possible. He suffered from a traumatic brain injury but still went on to win a Gold Medal at the Paralympics in Tokyo! He taught me that with the right mindset, training, and hard work, you can achieve anything but that being a good person is still the best goal of all”
