Drive to Stop Diabetes
Last Saturday, I met NASCAR driver Ryan Reed at Chicagoland Speedway. I was so excited to meet him and learn about how he manages his diabetes when he races. The most exciting part is for that day, he had my name on his car. This gesture is part of his Ride with Ryan program. To learn more about this program that I was apart of this weekend, check out the following link: http://drivetostopdiabetes.org/news-article/79/ADA_Youth_Ambassador_Rachel_Janovsky_to_Ride_with_Ryan. He also does fundraising at every race for the Drive to Stop Diabetes program and the collections are donated to the American Diabetes Association. It was a great day.
