Nancy Crowe’s son Derrick was diagnosed with type 1 when he was just eight years old, and the experience turned into an unexpected teacher over the years, encouraging the Crowe family to live in the present moment.

Dr. John Kamp was diagnosed with diabetes on his way to Vietnam, and the diagnosis may have saved his life. He became a base reporter and newspaper editor, and then spent a large part of his career working for the Coalition for Healthcare Communication in Washington, DC. He discovered TCOYD relatively recently, but has already become a champion for the power of taking control.

One of Bob Alden’s greatest passions is volunteering, and he’s logged over 9,000 hours since the catalyst that got him going on this path. He doesn’t have diabetes, but he’s been supporting TCOYD for years, and we’ve been lucky enough to have him on our volunteer team, greeting people at our conferences with his outgoing personality and welcoming smile.

Mike Step dedicated the majority of his career to working for companies that developed diabetes medications because of his enduring passion for improving diabetes treatments. He and his mom continue their mission to help people with diabetes through their generous support of TCOYD.
