Spencer’s Stand exists to empower children and families impacted by Type 1 Diabetes by providing community-based support, education, mentorship, and access to meaningful experiences that foster resilience, confidence, and connection.

Through family-focused programming, youth mentorship, and strategic partnerships, Spencer’s Stand reduces isolation, strengthens support systems, and creates opportunities for children to thrive beyond their diagnosis.

Why Spencer’s Stand Exists

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 condition that demands discipline, resilience, and relentless focus every day. Rather than allowing the diagnosis to define him, Spencer chose to turn it into fuel. Today, as a Division I athlete, he demonstrates what’s possible when challenge is met with fortitude.

Spencer’s story reflects the heart of our mission. We exist for young people, athletes, and families navigating Type 1 Diabetes, invisible conditions, or personal adversity. Our work replaces isolation with community, uncertainty with guidance, and perceived limits with possibility.

Through mentorship, visibility, and shared stories, Spencer’s Stand equips individuals 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 is a movement rooted in resilience, proof that winning isn’t only measured by a scoreboard — but by the courage to stand up, move forward, and inspire the next person to do the same.

We're changing the game.

Changing the narrative around chronic conditions and adversity.
