Tom Kingery - Team Type 1 Triathlete - to speak at TriPoint Medical Center
Concord Township, May 12, 2010 - By all accounts, Tom Kingery was the picture of health. He played Division I football for Kent State University in Ohio while studying business marketing. In 1999, he started an orthopedic device manufacturing and distribution company, and he still managed to find time to train for and run one or two marathons a year.
In February of 2004, Kingery was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. Rather than let the disease control his life, Kingery took control of his disease. He immediately felt it was important to continue his active lifestyle so he could dispel myths that only unhealthy people get diabetes and that it can limit what a person is capable of achieving.
