N JANUARY 24, 2011 AT JUST 6 YEARS OLD, CHASE OYENARTE BECAME SICK.
The kind of sick no parent ever wants their child to go through. The kind of sick that a warm washcloth and a bowl of chicken soup could not cure. The kind of sick that requires needles and vials and monitors and alcohol swabs each and every day for the rest of his life. Chase joined the other 40,000 Americans each year to be diagnosed with type 1 diabetes.
