✨We are excited to welcome T1D Warrior and NASA Aerospace Engineer, April Blackwell, as our keynote speaker. As a child, April dreamed of becoming an astronaut, but a T1D diagnosis at age 11 caused her to change course. Though T1D is an automatic disqualification from the NASA astronaut application, April decided to go for it anyway and continue to pursue a career in space. Now she works in Mission Control at NASA, where she is responsible for maintaining the attitude of the International Space Station. We’re honored to have her share her story and perspective, and we know her experience will inspire others to keep reaching towards their goals.

Much like diabetes, disability comes with its own stigma. Many people with diabetes tend to believe their condition isn’t bad enough to qualify, but it couldn’t be further from the truth!
