Harrison remembers when his identical twin brother, Noah, was diagnosed with type 1 at age three. The whole family pitched in to help, and became involved with JDRF. Every six months, Harrison and his mother would have their blood tested; doctors wanted to understand why Noah was diagnosed and Harrison wasn't. But then, when he was eight, Harrison was diagnosed. He says he was sad at first, but is learning a lot about diabetes. In fact, he recently gave himself a shot for the first time at diabetes camp. The Holsingers participate annually in the Walk to Cure Diabetes, and Harrison's parents are active JDRF volunteers. Harrison enjoys sports and playing the guitar. One day, he wants to be a professional football player and a rock star. Harrison is hopeful that more funding for research will continue to make a difference in the lives of people like him and Noah.
