A special guest will be visiting Teen Type 1, a support group for teenagers with diabetes, at their next meeting. Morgan Patton, a member of the professional cycle racing team Team Type 1, will be speaking and demonstrating cycling skills.

Members of Team Type 1 all have diabetes, participate in bike races all over the world. Their message is simple: diabetes does not have to keep anyone from accomplishing anything they want to do.

The next meeting for Teen Type 1 will be Monday, Nov 12 at 6 p.m.. The group meets at Floyd healthcare Foundation’s conference room at 420 E. Second Ave., Suite 104, Rome. While the teenagers are meeting there is also a time for parents to encourage one another as they care for their child with diabetes.

Those interested in attending should R.S.V.P. to Becky Waits at 706.509.5183.
