Noah was three years old when his family found out he had diabetes. "Diabetes has never kept me from doing something," says Noah, who loves playing both drums and sports. His identical twin brother, Harrison, was diagnosed when they were eight. The brothers really care about each other – in fact, Noah told Harrison, "When they find a cure you can go first!" One day, in addition to being a rock star, Noah wants to be an author and diabetes educator. Noah's family is active in the Walk to Cure Diabetes, and his parents work hard to raise awareness and help newly diagnosed families through volunteer work with JDRF. Noah and his twin brother have met to discuss diabetes with their congressman through the Promise to Remember Me Campaign. Noah has learned how to manage his diabetes well, but wants to educate others about the disease and the need for funding.
