Brendon's Story

Setemeber 24, 2006

Hi I’m Brendon and I’m a drummer.  

On March 1, 2004 my mom and I found out that I have Juvenile Diabetes.  At first we were afraid but many people helped us. I used to have to take a lot of shots but now I have my handy dandy pump. I like it because it makes me look cool.  Most people think that it’s a cell phone.  Sometimes I get upset because I don’t want to check my levels but my mom always tells me that I am blessed to have medicine and to keep on going.  While insulin helps me today, I keep praying for a cure, which I know will be found during my lifetime. I am proud to say that I have learned to march to the beat of a different drum!

Thank you,

Brendon Chase Ogunnaike
