00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:42,760
Speaker 4: was trying to get diabetes.

29
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:45,839

124
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 1: in with you. When you said when I asked how

125
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 1: long and you said October, I was like, let's see,

126
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:26,839
Speaker 1: it's July August.

127
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 2: You're gonna be out there a while. Oh my god, dude,

128
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:31,039
Speaker 2: that's a all.

129
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:34,320
Speaker 3: It's pretty much. Yeah, it's a lot of time, and

130
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 3: it's a great cause and I'm happy to do it

131
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,160
Speaker 3: and raise money and I have a, as you can imagine,

132
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:43,479
Speaker 3: incredible drive. My daughter, Mary Kate was ten when she

133
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 3: was diagnosed back in two thousand and nine, and she's

134
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 3: twenty seven and rocking it, and she's a registered nurse

135
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 3: and doing great, but she still has type one diabetes

136
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:55,159
Speaker 3: and this is where we need to raise some money

137
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:56,920
Speaker 3: and move the needle, you know what.

138
00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:00,160
Speaker 1: And I would assume Mary Kate and correct me if

139
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 1: I'm wrong, But like you said, diagnosed to ten, right,

140
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:07,840
Speaker 1: and so, but was she one of those kids where

141
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 1: it was like obviously she check her own like would

142
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 1: check her levels and was like able to monitor things

143
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 1: for herself.

144
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 2: And you realize at such.

145
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 1: A young age, even with like even having type one diabetes, like,

146
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 1: they adjust and they adapt, not that there aren't setbacks,

147
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 1: and it's not hard.

148
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 2: I'm not trying to say that at.

149
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 1: All, but they adapt to it and they just they

150
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 1: function like adults in knowing what they can and can't

151
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 1: do for the most part.

152
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 3: You know, that's interesting you said that, because you're spot

153
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 3: on and know what you said doesn't minimize the impact

154
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 3: had had on her or anybody else that lives with

155
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 3: the disease, but especially at her age. You know, at

156
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 3: you know, nine and ten, you know you're able to

157
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 3: do the math of counting carbs and insulin, and of

158
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 3: course mom and dad are there. My wife, Molly and

159
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:56,840
