Ori is a fourth-generation farmer, an accomplished piano and organ player, and enjoys doing Crossfit. Adjusting to life with T1D was something that Ori found difficult, but he was determined not to let T1D stop him. He has participated in several JDRF events raising awareness, and acting as a support for other children who are living with T1D. Ori is incredibly passionate about the importance of those living with T1D having a strong, supportive community. “I am so proud to be representing the T1D community at Children’s Congress, and hope to help raise awareness about what it’s like to live with T1D.”
