Proud to bring you all the story of Casey Schwenk.  From running to cycling, Casey leads by example by running and paving the way for T1s all of the world.  Casey doesn't let T1 limit him in any way.  Living out of an RV and travel/working around the west coast, he runs fearless and taught me a thing a two about the courage it takes to do what we all do...run and act like T1 ain't no thang.  Cheer him on at the San Fran Marathon July 29th.   Follow Casey at: https://www.instagram.com/caseyschwenk Follow The Type One Run Podcast at: https://www.instagram.com/typeonerunpodcast https://www.facebook.com/diabeticrunningpodcast https://www.strava.com/athletes/20861190 typeonerun.org/podcast
