Dayne is a very..very, active 12 yr old, he is an aspiring dancer who currently practices 4-5 days a week after school at the academy in Traverse City. he was diagnosed with type 1 a liitle less than a year ago. He is the most amazing kid (person) I know, he never missed a "beat" when we found out..and was giving himself shots in a couple days and has dedicated himself to not letting this hinder his desire to dance, and do so competitively. hes been to NY and Chicago and next year L.A. He performs locally at several events to earn money so he can follow his dreams, which also includes more practicing after regular practice and homework.. His drive and desire are so admirable to me even tho I'm his dad, anytime I feel tired and run down I just look to him for my own Inspiration. I know in my heart theres no way he wont succeed in his life dream... you cannot be gifted with that kind of drive and talent and not have good things happen for you.. He is my "dancer" boy
