When Tom Tobin was 21 years old, he had to learn how to read, use a stove, pick out his clothes and walk outside.
He lost his vision due to complications from diabetes when he was a junior at Kenyon College.
Ever since, the Cleveland Heights resident has devoted much of his career to raising money for education programs focused on preventing the life-changing aspects of the disease.
Tobin has participated in the Swim for Diabetes off and on for two decades. This year?s swim was April 20 through April 22 in 49 pools across Northeast Ohio.
