Imagine having the flu, going to the doctors, and having him come in and bluntly say that you have an incurable disease, you will not live longer than 20 years, you will lose your legs, and your parents should never send you to college because it’s not a good return on investment.
That is how quickly everything in Tracy Herbert’s life changed - at just 17 years old. Tracy was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes and given no hope, no uplifting message, no chance of living a vibrant life full of joy and longevity.
Tracy Herbert is not your standard patient, though. The now speaker, best selling author, and diabetes advocate has wholly transformed what incurable Type 1 Diabetes means for her life, and so many of those around her.
She has made it her mission to defy all odds and prove her doctors wrong while raising hope and awareness for the disease.
Tracy has not only survived 40+ years with this disease but thrives and pushes expectations always, including having recently done a solo 3,527-mile bicycle ride across the USA.
She touches lives one by one and gives back hope and possibility to those that deserve it the most.
