May I introduce...
Adam Morrison.
Some of you may not be aware of this guy. He's one of the standout college basketball players this year, not to mention the last two years, and has a good chance of going #1 in the NBA draft. He plays for Gonzaga University in Spokane, Wash -which is in the West Coast Conference with my alma mater St. Mary's College! :)
What's so special about this guy, besides his basketball skills? He's a type 1 diabetic. Can you imagine playing basketball at the intensity of Division 1, or soon, the NBA? Adam is ready for the challenge!
Here's the link to an article and interview with Adam:

I'm sure you'll all catch the reporter's mistake when he mentions needing a "shot" a "boost" when Adam's blood sugar is low. Funny how people can't get that straight!
I think Adam is going to use his disease to advocate for all of us. I've very excited about his promising future, both on and off the court.
