Team Type 1

You have to learn more about Team Type 1 and the people behind it. This is as close to hero worship as I get - I think Lance Armstrong is cool, but Phil Southerland and Joe Eldridge take first prize in the inspiration category. These guys are the founders of Team Type 1, and both have Type 1 diabetes. Both are professional bicycle riders. There are four men and two women Type 1's in their professional ranks. I can't say enough about how tough you have to be to race professionally - really I can't because I am so far from it. Their goal is to have a Type 1 in the Tour de France by 2012.
