Originally published September 2, 2019Patrick and Michael have been living with Type 1 Diabetes for most of their lives. Feeling a bit isolated and hesitant as children to venture too far away from available insulin or glucose monitoring tools, they individually pursuit adventurous lives before coming together to show the world anything is possible with T1D through their latest adventure, Project 50-IN-50They climbed the 50 highpoints of each U.S. state and finished in 49 days – making them the first people with Type 1 diabetes to complete this achievement and joining an elite group of fewer than five people to do so the fastest in the world.Over the course of the 2019 summer, the team road-tripped over 17,000 miles to hike, run, climb and ski through 315 miles of trails. Patrick is the first person with T1D to successfully summit the highest peak in each of the 50 states. Michael experienced an emergency Life Flight off of Granite Peak in Montana and had to miss out on a handful of the peaks. Thankfully, he’s made a full recovery. After loads of tears and challenges along the way, Patrick and Michael persevered to complete their challenge.Project 50-IN-50 is an initiative of The Diabetes Family Connection, a North Carolina based 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation. In addition to achieving a new milestone in mountaineering, Michael and Patrick have grown local and global communities of people with diabetes inspired to get outside and enjoy the outdoors.www.project50in50.orgInstagram: @project50in50Facebook: @project50in50www.thedfc.orgTheir upcoming events: project50in50.org/speakingOur Sponsors:* Check out Badlands Ranch: badlandsranch.com/ASP* Check out Gaia Provides and use my code ASP for a great deal: www.gaiaprovides.com* Check out Incogni and use the code ADVENTURESPORTS at checkout: https://incogni.com/adventuresports* Check out Liquid IV and use my code ASP for a great deal: www.liquid-iv.com* Check out Mint Mobile: mintmobile.com/ASP* Check out Moorings: moorings.com* Check out Outdoor Electronics: feathersnapcam.com* Check out Shopify: shopify.com/asp* Check out The Wonderful Company: https://www.wonderfulpistachios.com/* Install Airalo today so you can stay connected wherever you travel and use my code ASP to get $3 USD OFF your first eSIM!Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/adventure-sports-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
