Age: 6
Age at T1D diagnosis: 3

Already at the age of six, Cash is one of those people whom everyone knows. He loves to make new friends and meet new people. For him, no one is unapproachable. In the three years since his diagnosis, Cash has developed into a happy, healthy kindergartner. Having T1D has forced Cash to grow up a lot faster than his parents would have liked, but it has not slowed him down at all. He likes swimming, skiing, kayaking and being a great brother.
