Personal Experiences

Cassie Maxwell

Meet Cassie Maxwell—diagnosed with T1D at just 18 months old.  As a kid, she found comfort in knowing that one of her favorite actors, Mary Tyler Moore, shared this ‘special thing’ in common. Cassie admired Mary so much that she dressed up as her for Famous Americans Day—and even had the incredible opportunity to personally interview her for her presentation.  

When Cassie asked what she should wear, Mary’s response was iconic:

“You should wear pants because I fought for us to wear pants.” 👏

A true trailblazer, in every way.
