Christopher Thomas is the founder and major force behind DiabeticRockstar.com and the Fight It! campaign.
Chris was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the age of 27. He didn't let it stop him from accomplishing his goals. A few months after his diagnosis, he pulled up stakes and moved from his home state of Michigan to New York City and the rest, as they say, is history.
Chris started DiabeticRockstar.com initially as a place where people with diabetes could go and discuss, and even vent, about what life is like with diabetes. But, very quickly, the focus of the website broadened to include Chris's inspirational Fight It! charity campaign. Fight It! takes donations and turns the money into supplies and equipment for people who can't afford to buy them.
So far, Fight It! has helped about 20 people with supplies and insulin and has given away 300-400 free glucometers.
Chris has also introduced a mentoring program. People who are veterans to diabetes can volunteer to work with someone who is newly diagnosed or suffering from complications.
