Dee and Bill Brehm: Working Toward a Type 1 Diabetes Cure

One Sunday evening in 1999, as Dee was preparing dinner, Bill entered their kitchen and asked if he could do anything to help her. Dee turned quickly and said defiantly, “You can cure this disease.” Bill was quiet for a moment, and then said, “OK”. So that began their serious quest for a Type 1 diabetes cure and Type 1 diabetes prevention.

Ironman Arizona with Type 1 Diabetes: An Interview with Blair Ryan

I raced Ironman Arizona in November, 2012. I took a very simple approach to my training and simply swam, rode, and ran whenever I could fit it in. I can’t tell you how many miles or yards I completed leading up to the race because I never logged it. The longest run I did leading up to the race was 13 miles, and I’d never run more than 15 in my life. This was not how I planned to train at the time I registered for the race.
