INSPIRATIONAL SPEAKER - 1:45 PM-2:45 PM (This session is for the whole family)

Chris Dudley, a 16-year NBA veteran - Chris was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes at the age of 16. He was a sophomore in high school and was diagnosed soon after his basketball season was over. Chris was devastated. One of his biggest fears was not being able to play the sport he loved. Thanks to a supportive healthcare team, Chris was not only able to play basketball again but went on to the pinnacle of the sport and became the first person with T1D to play in the NBA. Chris played 16 years in the league. Chris started the Chris Dudley Foundation, a nonprofit organization, in 1994 for people living with diabetes. The Chris Dudley Foundation was a way Chris could help to encourage kids to follow their dreams. In 1996, he started the internationally renowned basketball camp and provided basketball clinics throughout the country in an effort to educate, inspire and empower kids to live active with diabetes. Chris often talks about how he has diabetes, but diabetes doesn’t have him. Chris never let diabetes destroy his dreams and continues to share his experiences of living active with T1D.
