Spencer’s Stand was born from a single decision:
to lead with what life put on his shoulders.
At eleven years old, Spencer Legg was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes—an invisible challenge that would demand discipline, resilience, and relentless focus every day. Instead of letting it define him, he decided to turn it into fuel. Today, as a Division I athlete, Spencer is showing what’s possible when you meet limits with fortitude.
We exist for every young person, athlete, or family facing type 1 diabetes, invisible conditions, or personal adversity. Our mission is to replace isolation with community, uncertainty with guidance, and limits with possibility. Through mentorship, visibility, and shared stories, we equip people to rewrite their narrative—not as someone living with a challenge, but as someone living beyond it.
Spencer’s Stand is more than a name—it’s a movement. One that proves that winning isn’t just about the scoreboard. It’s about standing up, moving forward, and building a legacy of strength that inspires the next person to do the same.
