Danny does an incredible job of managing a full schedule of academics and extra curricular activities including serving as vice president of his class and co-president of the Philosophy Club, playing baseball and participating in theatre productions. Additionally, he volunteers for various political candidates and at his local Boys and Girls Club, all while living with T1D. Danny also finds time to be active with JDRF through events like JDRF One Walk and Galas, and has served as a JDRF Youth Ambassador. Danny is excited to participate in Children’s Congress and speak about life with T1D, so that one day he and the rest of the T1D community can realize their dream of a world without type 1 diabetes!
