Dylan's Story
Meet Dylan
Dylan Lancaster
lives with Type 1 Diabetes and he is sixteen years old. He was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes when he was five, and discovered Diabetic Alert Dogs when he was nine. Soon after realizing that he could have one, he thought that he shouldn’t be the only one with this opportunity. Dylan’s stand is that money should not be an obstacle to getting potentially life-saving help.
Since then, he has been devoted to the thought that if someone’s life could be improved by having a Diabetic Alert Dog, money should not be an issue. Dylan has already helped to place a total of 8 Diabetic Alert Dogs and has continued raising money through community events and hiking a stretch of the Appalachian Trail each summer.
