Tressa, The Houston Family (aka Tom’s T Cats) is going to miss you.
All the very best going forward with your new venture.
You have made JDRF so special Tressa, it was always your face we connect JDRF to.
Our time in Dallas was very special and whenever we thought of JDRF it was always “Tressa”.
So all the way from Australia we wish you all the very best.
Lots of hugs and love from
Graeme, Lorraine, Georgia and Tom Houston

You know, I think of type 1 as just as much of a blessing as a curse. I was diagnosed at the age of 12, back in 1972, when there were no glucose meters, no sensors, and you had to put big lye pills in a urine sample in a test tube. I consider myself lucky that I have little retinopathy and no neuropathy. It was type 1 that reminded me that I’m not bulletproof. When after college I put on 10 pounds, then 20, then 30, I woke up one morning to find out I was 50 pounds overweight and couldn’t walk up the stairs. My sugars were also out of control. In 2003, my wife and I resolved to fix the weight issue, and we started working out. I discovered by accident that one of the best things for keeping blood sugars level is the diet and exercise management that’s required to stay fit. Three years later, in 2006, I had lost all the weight and gone through two wardrobe changes. I looked and felt better. In 2009 I ran my first half marathon, and I have run four since then. I have set many personal records in the process, and even medaled in my age group at the 2010 DFW ADA Walk to Cure Diabetes timed 5K, with a time of just over 26 minutes and an 8:25 minute / mile pace. This year I plan to run my first full marathon and I am never looking back.

I like to say that until there’s a cure for type 1, I’ll run from it.

Leah, you are so amazing and strong!! You are such an inspiration to all other children out there who are figuring out how to make the best out of their “new normal”, just like you are! I am SO proud to be able to call you my sister! I love you so much and will always be here for you whenever you need me. I wish Tennessee was not so far away from Texas, but keep me close in your heart like I keep you close in mine <3
