T1D Age Group National Champion

It all started with a dream, and those fateful words on July 31, 2015. Luke told his triathlon coach, the day after the USA Triathlon Nationals.

“Coach, I want to come back and race next year and I want to be the age group National Champion!” 

Fast forward one year later to the day,  July 31, 2016. Luke Rosser raced the race of his life, to clench the USA Triathlon 14-year-old Age Group National Championship title!

I was recently asked to share Luke’s story by Diabetes Mine. Today they published his story, and instead of me re-capping it here I am going to share the story below. Just click on the link below to read  how Luke is beating the odds!

Paying It Forward: Kids Helping Kids

Diabetes rocked our world when Luke was diagnosed, and we had an incredible amount of support from our family and friends. Fast forward 17 months and  Luke wants to pay it forward!

Luke is on a mission. He is dedicating his USAT Nationals Youth Championship Triathlon Race  on July 31st to a cause that hits very close to home. He is partnering with Florida Hospital  in Orlando Florida to raise money for uninsured kids who are managing their diabetes and have trouble affording the necessities. The high cost of insulin, testing strips, pen needles, lancets and other vital supplies is often a large barrier to many families.

Here is a breakdown of daily costs for these items that keep Luke and other type one diabetics alive each day:

Testing strips: $1 per strip (usally one tests at least 6-8 times per day) and a box of 100 usually costs $100.
Insulin: $200 per pack of 5 insulin pens. (needles not included)
Lancets/Needles: Those prices vary starting around $10 per box. (varying)
Glucogon: $50 (lifesaving pen if ones sugar drops extremely low)

I am so proud of Luke’s desire to help others, and spread awareness, all for the sake of potentially saving a life!

In order to bring change to our communities, we must BE THE CHANGE!

Please go to Luke’s Community Campaign Page to help Luke help other kids. The page was created for Luke by Florida Hospital, Orlando.

Spread Awareness. Be the Voice.

BE THE CHANGE!

LIMITED Edition-USA

Many of you know I’m the owner of Hot Chic Sports. For all you skirt loving gals and athletes out there, here’s some interesting facts about Hot Chic Sports.

All Hot Chic Sport Skirts are LIMITED EDITION and all made in the USA! We purchase all of our products from USA vendors and our products are manufactured here in the USA. We don’t mass produce thousands of skirts in the same pattern. Hot Chic Sport skirts are like no other line of skirts, and we strive to be different. We set the trend, not follow the trend.

Hot Chic Sports skirts are designed with the everyday woman in mind as well as the active woman. Hot Chic Sports set out to create the “perfect” skirt for all women of all sizes and body shapes. Not every sport skirt I tried on looked flattering,  especially from behind, thus Hot Chic was birthed! After all every woman wants to feel pretty, and HOT. Hot Chic Sports skirts range in sizes from X-Small to X-Large, and this summer we are adding the size HC2 to our line of skirts. The HC2 will be an XXL in size, but since I don’t think any woman wants to say “XX-Large” we came up with a different and sassy way of saying it. HC2! Love how it rolls of my tongue.

You asked, so we listened. Our NEW line of skirts coming out this summer will be a tad longer in length. NOT by much, but very suttle. I’ve tried on the proto-type and I believe your gonna LOVE the new design. The new skirts ROCK if I don’t mind saying so myself. Another interesting fact about Hot Chic Sports skirts is the shorts underneath the skirts DON’T RIDE UP! Seriously, they truly don’t! Our shorts (underneath the skirts) have a rubber elastic leg, so once the shorts are in place, they stay in place! Finally….. no need for uncomfortable compression squeezing my thighs, and then rolling up into my “whooHa” area!

Now, I have to ask….Who doesn’t love to just lounge around in their pajamas all day? Well, maybe not ALL day, but I do have a favorite pair of pajama bottoms I love to lounge in! Hot Chic Sports skirts feel like your favorite pajama bottoms! This statement comes straight from Hot Chics who own a Hot Chic Sport skirt. These skirts are made to become YOU. They are designed to feel as if you had nothing on at all! It’s like running naked!!! No pulling, tugging, or cinching into your waist. Just pure comfort all the way around.

All Hot Chic Sports Skirts have a cell phone, iphone, key, tennis ball, golf ball approved pocket too! Hot Chic skirts are light weight, moisture wicking, breathable and most of all sassy!

Because the Hot Chic Sport skirts are in such high demand, we have a hard time keeping them on our shelves. As soon as we debut new patterns, they are flying out of our office like hot cakes! If your looking for that little something in a skirt that’s different and sets you apart, than Hot Chic is your winning skirt! Hot Chics can be seen seen wearing these skirts at the gym, playing tennis, golfing, running, cycling, zumba, paddle-boarding, yoga, competing in triathlons and so much more. When these Hot Chics are being active, these skirts easily transition into a great outfit for meeting friends for lunch, shopping at the mall, chasing kids, or simply relaxing. Being comfortable and fashionable, a Hot Chic does it all!

Hot Chic Sports has some sassy  new patterns that are debuting this summer that you won’t want to miss. You can keep up with all the happenings on  Hot Chic Sports Facebook page and keep watch on the website for the upcoming debut! Don’t forget….. They are all LIMITED EDITION!
