I would like to not make a case for myself but for my friend Blair.

Blair currently works for a nonprofit organization that seeks to inspire those with diabetes to live more active lifestyles in order to better manage the disease. She herself has Type 1 diabetes and is a poster for those needing inspiration. Never letting type 1 diabetes slow her down she competed in track at the collegiate level then moved into triathlon. Blair is signed up for Ironman Arizona in the fall and currently rides a road bike but for the Shiv I would be willing to help her with payment and so would some of our friends (this is her first job out of graduate school so I know she still has student loans).

It's funny because the organization (Insulindependence) she works for seeks to inspire those with diabetes but many times ends up inspiring "the average joe" to live a more healthy/active lifestyle. Blair is a very giving person so I think it's time someone helped her out and nominated her because I know she won't write this up for herself.

Thanks,

Brennan
