My motivation to advocate for young people with type 1 diabetes comes from my personal experience from my younger sister who was diagnosed at a young age. Witnessing her challenges inspired me to make diabetes research accessible and give young people the knowledge and support they need to improve their

I love being a songwriter as much as I love being a diabetes advocate. I was diagnosed with T1D 13 years ago and as I grew older, I understood that it was going to be hard if I walked that road alone; my project seeks to be a friend on the loneliest days. I am a speaker for the Mexican Diabetes Federation and I am part of the team at Con Diabetes Si Se Puede, IAP where I help coordinate different initiatives. I am also a Young Leader Trainee for the International Diabetes Federation.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column

My motivation stems from personal experiences, witnessing the impact of diabetes on my family, particularly my mother&#8217;s struggle with type 2 diabetes. My journey began as a project officer and health rights advocate, where I met Emmanuel and his twin sister. Raised by their grandparents, Emmanuel&#8217;s diagnosis of type 1 diabetes sparked my deep commitment to this cause. Witnessing the positive impact of our interventions on their lives fueled my determination to make a meaningful difference for individuals like Emmanuel. I aim to extend my reach and help more people affected by diabetes.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section

I have gone through all the good and bad stages in my relationship with diabetes and I have managed to overcome them thanks to the support of my family and close circle of friends. These years have been a learning experience for life. I have done everything normally &#8211; studying, working, and maintaining my social life. I am a volunteer with the Growing with Diabetes Association and I hope to help them with my project.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-29f60b8 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"29f60b8\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-background-overlay\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-d37af29\" data-id=\"d37af29\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-aed706a animated-fast elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"aed706a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInUp&quot;,&quot;_animation_delay&quot;:0}\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">David's Mentor<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3f10308 animated-fast elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"3f10308\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInUp&quot;,&quot;_animation_delay&quot;:0}\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Mark Barone<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-88abb03 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"88abb03\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a504fa3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"a504fa3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/lifeforachild.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Mentor_Mark.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-15620\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lifeforachild.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Mentor_Mark.jpg 600w, https:\/\/lifeforachild.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Mentor_Mark-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lifeforachild.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Mentor_Mark-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-3c7f47e\" data-id=\"3c7f47e\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-09bd96e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"09bd96e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Dr. Mark Barone has more than two decades of experience in public and global health, education, empowerment, and advocacy.
