What do you do when your child's dream is challenged by a life-changing diagnosis? You fight with faith-and tell the story. Tyjon was only nine years old when he was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. He loved basketball, dreamed of making the team, and suddenly had to learn a whole new way of living. Finger pricks, insulin shots, hospital visits... and still, he pushed forward. Ballin' with Diabetes: Ty's Big Shot is based on our true story-my son's story. It's a journey of strength, love, and the unshakable belief that no diagnosis can cancel purpose. Tyjon found out that real courage doesn't mean you never fall-it means you get back up, stronger than before, even when it's hard. This book was written for every child who's had to face something tough, and for every parent who's walked that journey with them. It's the start of a powerful series that follows my son from elementary school through college-learning, growing, pushing past fear, and never giving up on his dreams.
