D T1D Unit

Closing thoughts from two Achilles International- Denver Chapter Athletes; Type One Diabetics: Kerry Kuck (Blind Runner 30+years) & Chewey Lam (Guide / Me)

Me: "Make no mistake we were far from perfection but were as close to perfection as a Unit could be!" I'm hoping that the 2018 Rock 'n' Roll Denver wasn't Kerry's last Half Marathon but if it was; I'm so glad & thrilled to have been able to be a part of it!"  

Kerry: "This is Crosby's 2nd Rock 'N' Roll half medal, his 9th race of this year guiding me, and about 30 successful races guiding me in his working career. We represent true hope for the totally blind, especially for those suffering from type 1 diabetes and its many complications, like I was 35 years ago. For me, this is not about diabetes, running, or running with a guide dog. (OK, maybe a little about running with a guide dog.) It is about giving real hope to those who are almost hopeless, like I was 30 and 35 years ago, or 4 guide dogs ago." --I didn't push Crosby today  (I hugged Kerry crossing the Finish Line Crosby in tow);.........

The Life Reset by Geese

The Year 2016 hasn’t gone exactly the way I planned. Ever since January 2016; it has been a downward spiral; my hoist of health issues (blood disorders) has dominated the year. I missed my first World Series of Poker in 13 Years; havn’t been to Vegas since January; havn’t played a hand of poker since January & I’ve actually spent more time this year in Hospitals than I have in casinos & in public combined. You’re probably thinking “Impossible; There’s No Way”.

It took me throwing my cell phone (one tough cell phone & it still works just like me) multiple times
