Courage, Charisma and Character
It just up and quit. No reason, no warning, no explanation.
Quinn’s pancreas stopped producing insulin.
In a split second, she was a l3 year old with type 1 diabetes, a chronic, deadly disease.
Her future, filled with multiple daily shots of insulin, seemed beyond bleak.
After a period of mourning, Quinn decided to join the fight to find a cure for diabetes
and improve the lives of those suffering with the disease.
For the past 12 years, Quinn has shared her struggle of living with diabetes with over
200,000 people.

As the National Youth Advocate for the American
Diabetes Association, she spent a year traveling
across the country to diabetes camps, convention
halls, and even the U.S. congress.
Her message was simple:
We must find a cure for diabetes and provide
support and care for the millions of people living
with the disease.

Along the way, Quinn met heroes including Gold Medalist Olympian Gary Hall, Jr.
and Miss America Nicole Johnson, both living large with diabetes. Quinn also became
a hero to young people struggling with diabetes and other chronic diseases.
 Quinn continues to advocate for diabetics and shares her story
with purpose and passion. She is an energetic speaker who
inspires, informs and entertains her audiences.
