Delegate: Larisa
State: New Mexico
Age: 15
Profile: Five and a half years ago, Larisa was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. She remembers what she went through at the hospital when she first learned what her diagnosis meant.

She is involved in advocacy and volunteer work for JDRF, including participating in her local Walk, and wants to spread awareness about the disease.
