Sarah Barck
Helping Others Fight Diabetes By Adrienne McKeown
W
hen Sarah Barck joined the American Diabetes Association (ADA) back in February, she had an idea of what the disease
was. She had a former co-worker whose daughter fought the disease, and she also had an uncle and a cousin’s son who were diabetic. What she didn’t realize, however, is how rewarding her new job would be
and how much she would learn. After just eight months as the event manager for the ADA in South Dakota, Sarah has embraced the fight against diabetes as a personal mission and works to support research, education, and advocacy efforts centered around this deadly and all-toocommon disease. We sat down with Sarah to learn more about diabetes and the work the ADA is doing to fight and cure it
