Today was a great day for me. I got to meet up with a real FUD superstar. I met with…. @LarissaW !! 🥳🤩 We got to run together a little bit! 😍 ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/fudiabetes/original/2X/6/6e36d2cf8dd1f6e35e676afb5eacabc8916f270b.jpeg) Here I am, trying to keep up with her at the end. ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/fudiabetes/original/2X/8/8772fbf32c9a0632f9891aae645091422dd7fbb5.jpeg) And here we are after we finished. ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/fudiabetes/original/2X/9/94a2ed4f9450e2e97bd4f653d070d1a55ad19d6a.jpeg) Larissa has not been on FUD in a while, but for good reason - she’s been super busy finishing up with med school. 🤩 She is truly a role model for any young person. She was diagnosed at age 6, but in only a few months she will be Dr. Larissa. And going into surgery. 🤩 Talk about the definition of unlimited and unstoppable! She’s a hero to me. It was a great joy to meet with her and run with her. We are meeting for dinner later tonight with a group of people. ---

We are meeting for dinner later tonight with a group of people. Thanks for sharing, I love it when people just **DO IT** when despite a chronic health issue. TheY just shine like a light in the darkness. And I didn’t miss that Larissa did not let Eric be in front - ha. That’s the women I ride with. You don’t win with them unless they are training on their touring bikes with panniers carrying 40-50 pounds of water, and then, it’s iffie. It’s always good when one of us is in the medical fields, nurses and doctors or all types. AND THAT SMILE! ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/fudiabetes/original/2X/0/0ed58a40a1f384b552c661c1ceb01d9dd8ebca52.jpeg) ---

Looks like you both had a great time, especially soon to be Dr @LarissaW who was nice enough to wait for @Eric to catch up (sorry Eric…had to go there). Seriously though,. I hope you both are having a fantastic time! @Eric is a hoot IRL. ---

Congrats on the forthcoming milestones @LarissaW! And you can check off the great FUD meetup milestone as well. Good job @Eric, I suspect you have met more FUDers in real life than anyone. ---

> [@CarlosLuis](#): > > what is that black wire going to your pocket? Are you talking about in this picture? ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/fudiabetes/original/2X/2/263489e144bcd491da59e8506e60e652c1a0f899.png) Those are my headphones. I was listening to music, but once Larissa joined me, I took the headphones off so I could talk to her. So I put the headphones in my pocket. ---
