Thanks to the generosity of the Developers of our BHS Fan Of The Week (FOTW) Application, we have a full working version of their Top Fan Application that allows us to showcase our Bluetiful peeps, based on multiple interaction factors on our Facebook Page.
This weeks Fan of the Week (FOTW) is Krystin Clark, and we asked Ms. Clark to answer a few questions as to learn a little more about her.
BHS: Please tell us your connection with diabetes?
KC: My 8 yr old daughter Rowan is a type 1 diabetic. She was dx 08/09/10 at age 6, unfortunately not before she nearly lost her life to diabetic ketoacidosis. Thank heavens she's a fighter!
BHS: What general geographic location do you reside?
KC: British Columbia Canada
BHS: What blue shoe (Heel, sneaker, riding shoe, etc.) suits you & Why?
KC: Running shoe. For certain. Heels are relics of a lifetime long, long ago. You got to have decent running shoes to chase down an 8yr old screeching "drink that juicebox!!!" :D
BHS: What does advocacy mean to you?
KC: Advocacy to me is sharing the journey. It's not just about awareness or education, it's about being transparent about your new life managing Type 1 Diabetes. You never know what part of the story will affect someone, or who that someone may be.
BHS: Please share with us your Blog/Website/Twitter/Organization:
KC: Rowan's Recruits: The LadyBug Brigade is a family team that participates annually in the TELUs Walk To Cure Diabetes. You can also find tidbits of our journey at: Adventures In Parenting A Diabetic
Also, I am a visual artist, and am in the process of creating a gallery art show "DX Age 6" focusing on the diagnosis of a young child, and the impact on the family. Pieces may be viewed at Krystin
BHS: Words of wisdom/encouraging statement/general statement about diabetes
KC: While it's not a quote specifically about diabetes, I think the words of Martin Luther King Jr speak volumes to this journey: "*Faith* is taking the first step even when you don't see the whole staircase"
Congrats again to Ms.Clark, and the BHS Team thanks each & every one of YOU for being a part of our Family.
