Don Munchow, a type 1 diabetic, wanted to inspire and encourage other diabetics with his cross-country run.
For years, Don Munchow had a fear of exercise. As a type 1 diabetic, he was nervous that his blood sugar would either run too high, which can cause long-term damage to the body, or drop to dangerously low levels, which requires immediate action.
But on April 7, the 59-year-old Texan achieved a goal that has been years in the making (and one that he has actively been working toward for the last 14 months)—running across the country, while making stops at both Disneyland and Disney World.
