About Us
Fletcher and Maxwell, twin high school students, were living their typical teenage lives until a Type 2 Diabetes diagnosis in their family had a massive impact on them. Helplessly watching the struggle of a "normal" teenager shocked them with the reality of how widespread and severe T2DM was among their peers.
​
Realizing, as they were, their community was largely unaware of this serious growing problem, they decided to take action. Overcoming challenges and learning about the disease, Fletcher and Maxwell created this website to spread awareness and provide vital resources. Their mission is to empower their peers with the knowledge and tools needed to prevent type 2 diabetes, inspired by their desire to make a positive difference in the lives of others.
We believe in the potential of every teen to embrace a healthy lifestyle, define their future, and positively impact the world.
