Founder of The Diabetes Football Community, Type 1 Diabetes advocate and member of the Wales National Futsal Team, Chris Bright, decided that allowing the power of community and sport to create growth in young people living with Type One Diabetes was a perfect combo. After being diagnosed with T1D as a kid, Chris worked hard to continue playing football, even joining the Wales Futsal International team. But he knew this fusion could tackle stigmas associated with the diagnosis and create positive peer support, so in 2017 he founded The Diabetes Football Community, and this combination has grown ever since.
Here’s the Top Four Takeaways from the podcast:

  1. At 3:44 Chris and Dominique get real on what makes community-based support uniquely valuable for young people living with chronic illness, how creating community through interest over diagnosis could be the more valuable mindset, and how Chris works hard to advocate for young men with T1D diagnoses to break down stigmas.
  2. At 22:49 Chris reveals the superlatives in his life, like working with the T1D, what makes their activism unique, and major memorable moments with the football players that’ve come through The Diabetes Football Community.
  3. Intermission is STORY TIME at 39:55 and Chris brings us back to when he was playing for the Wales Futsal International team and the race against the clock to get his T1D numbers to get down to the right number to play.
  4. And we wrap up the episode at 48:08 with Chris and Dominique talking about what ways young people living with chronic illness/disability can recognize their unique stressors and find ways to be empowered to handle those stressors, and the best piece of advice for those with chronic illness/disability that want to give sports a try.
