Phil describes life with Type 1 diabetes, the 24 hour a day disease. He was diagnosed at 7 months of age. His mother, Joanna, was told he would be blind, have renal failure or be dead by 24. As any mother would respond, she was determined that this not be the case and changed the family life dramatically to combat diabetes. Phil learned to exercise, especially riding bikes, ultimately ending up starting a not for profit to help others understand that Type 1 diabetes need not be a death sentence and at 24 raced his bike 3000 miles from San Diego, California to Atlantic City N.J. and the history of Team Type 1 began.
