Fit as a King
Diagnosed at the age of 24 with Type 1 diabetes, Bill had to learn
to live his life with a chronic disease: “One of the key components
to dealing with diabetes successfully is keeping an upbeat
attitude. Keeping diabetes under control is labor-intensive. It’s a
ton of work. The people who do it most successfully are those who
stay positive about it.”
As a participant in the DCCT/EDIC, the largest study ever conducted
on type 1 diabetes, Bill continues to reach out to the community
educating and informing people (patients, parents and healthcare
professionals) about the realities of living with diabetes. Sharing
stories about life as a marathon runner (20 marathons including
Boston, New York, and Philadelphia) and a diabetes advocate, Bill
draws from his experiences as a member of the ADA Leadership
Counsel in PA and DE, Team Diabetes Marathon Coach and
National Board Member of the Diabetes Exercise and Sports
Association. His speaking engagements include Team Diabetes
Events in Dublin, Maui, Kona, and Orlando, and Taking Control of
Your Diabetes and Children with Diabetes Conferences.
Bill and his wife recently learned one of their two children is at
risk for developing diabetes.
Bill’s presentations can be customized for a specific group
