Charley loves competition cheer. She has won three consecutive conference titles with her middle school team. In her spare time, she enjoys tumbling classes and creating art in various forms. The Dexcom G7 and Omnipod 5 are two devices she always wears to control and monitor her blood glucose. These devices help her still participate in the things she loves.

Charley was diagnosed three years ago in late January. She was only ten years old at the time. The last three years have been challenging, but instead of focusing on the difficult parts of diabetes, she has chosen to be an advocate in her community for T1D education and awareness. She believes it helps her to be able to help others.
