On today's episode we got the pleasure of speaking with Ashlei whose son, Colton was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes when he was 11. Colton is 17 now. Something special that they do is go get donuts every year on his diaversary (diagnosis day).
We loved recording with Ashlei! She is the definition of a momma bear who is here to protect her children at all costs. She tells us about Colton and his diagnosis and she also shares about his alert dog, Runner. Ashlei shares some very interesting stories about Runner and how amazing he is at alerting Colton. These alert dogs are astounding, and I love listening to their stories.
Colton was Talki Foundation's person of the year in 2021. This episode will conclude our recordings with the Talki Foundation. We have loved spotlighting them through November since November is Diabetes Awareness month. A big thank you to the Talki Foundation for sharing their stories with the world through our platform. We hope you guys take the time to listen and learn. These are incredible stories of amazing people who don't let a diagnosis stop them from living.
