Mountaineer / motivational speaker / type 1 diabetic
Will Cross
Will Cross has successfully ascended the highest peaks on all seven continents and walked to both the North and South Poles. Literally, Will has led expeditions to the ends of the earth, including climbing 15 unmapped, unexplored mountains in Greenland, as well as expeditions in Patagonia, Mountains of the Moon, the Sahara Desert, and the Thar Desert of India. Will has lived with type 1 diabetes for over 30 years. Will effectively manages his diabetes in the most extreme conditions, while facing many challenges such as irregular meals, extreme temperatures, unusual sleeping patterns, physical exertion, high risks of frostbite and dehydration, and less than ideal conditions in which to monitor glucose levels and administer insulin. Will seeks to get the message out that if he can control his diabetes in the most unlikely conditions, no one should feel hindered by the disease.
