Description

I find Charlie Kimball to be a very inspiring driver. At an early age, Kimball knew he wanted to race and he started with racing go karts. As Kimball progressed and was given more opportunities to race, it seemed that it was going to be a natural progression. Then, in his early twenties, Kimball was diagnosed with Type I Diabetes. This diagnosis threatened his racing career because a driver must be able to hold their concentration for prolonged periods among factors of dehydration and other environmental elements; Diabetes added to the list of challenges faced in a race might be too much for any driver. Novo Nordisk, one of the largest producers of insulin in the world, contacted Kimball and offered him a sponsorship. Now, Kimball gets to race and serves as a role model for others who are limited by Type I Diabetes.
