Zack is a tremendous golfer and tennis player who excels in both sports. He has played on both his school’s golf and tennis teams and is proud to play at a varsity level lettering in both sports. Zack is an officer in his school’s DECA club, competing nationally. Since being diagnosed with T1D at age 11, Zack has not only become a star athlete, but has also become a champion to the T1D community. He is extremely involved in every facet of fundraising, advocating and conducting outreach to newly diagnosed families. Zack is excited to take on Children’s Congress this summer because “T1D has afforded me the chance to discover how strong I am.”
