Delegates in Missouri
Delegate: Mandy
State: Missouri
Age: 7
Profile: Mandy likes to play outside in the summer and catch toads, snakes, and insects. She likes to go to the creek by her house to look for fossils, do art projects, and write stories. She’d like to be a doctor and publish her own book one day. Diagnosed at 10 months old, she switched from shots to the pump at age four. At first, it took an hour to change the site; now her family can do it in 15 minutes. But it’s not a cure!
