If you’re ever wondering where you can find Gavin, the first place you are likely to find him is somewhere people need help. Whether he’s working with his family in their role as One Walk organizers, serving as a JDRF Youth Ambassador, or advocating for fellow families who are also impacted by T1D to have access to the resources they need, you can usually find Gavin helping. 

Gavin loves playing a variety of sports like soccer, basketball, and lacrosse, writing, spending time with his friends, and playing percussion and piano in his school’s concert band. Gavin has plans to bring his giving nature into his career someday as well. “I want to build housing all over the world for homeless and underserved people to live with available resources for them to gain employment and be able to meet their needs independently.”
