If you are looking for Duncan, he is probably on a soccer field. He plays for his high school’s team, a travel team with the Potomac Soccer Club and his rec league. Duncan also helped coach the soccer team at his former middle school. Duncan also enjoys playing guitar and hanging out with his friends. Duncan’s family was not new to T1D when he was diagnosed; his father has T1D and his sister has been diagnosed as well. Duncan looks forward to telling lawmakers that “a cure for T1D would change the world for the millions of people who suffer from T1D, and all the people who are close to them.”
