Dustin's Story

I was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at age 4, and like all kids I was frightened by needles. I had my first seizure at age 5, and another at age 6. I remember mom and dad telling me after I was diagnosed I could do anything I wanted. I decided then that I would never let anything hold me back from my hearts desires. And here I am today at age 22, chasing my dreams as a Memphis City FC forward and soon to be professional. I've had my fair share of low blood sugars and scary moments over the last 18 years but I've never let it hold me back.
