While many of her fellow students were sharing turkey and cranberry sauce with their families during Thanksgiving break, Penn State Lehigh Valley sophomore Mandy Marquardt was cycling around Rwanda sharing information about proper diabetes care with its inhabitants.
Marquardt, a standout member of the Penn State Lehigh Valley cycling team, also races for Team Type 1, a group of cycling athletes who seek to inspire and help people around the world that are affected by diabetes. The Nov. 15 to 26 trip marked the second time that Team Type 1 has traveled to Rwanda to deliver diabetes supplies and spread the word about living with and managing diabetes. It was Marquardt?s first time participating.
