Philanthropist and “Good Morning America” (GMA) host Robin Roberts premiered the latest episode of her “Thriver Thursday” series featuring JDRF Volunteer Family, NFL Champion Isaiah Stanback, his wife Natalie, and their daughter Nadia. Premiering nationally on ABC’s “GMA” on October 7, 2021, the episode captures the Stanbacks’ life with type 1 diabetes (T1D), highlighting Nadia’s strength and determination as she thrives with T1D.

Nadia was diagnosed with T1D at three years old and the family has been committed to raising awareness and funding for research ever since. Their passion is also driven by other close family members and friends who have been impacted by the disease.

The episode also features a special appearance by WNBA player and JDRF Ambassador Lauren Cox. Diagnosed at seven years old, Lauren is an advocate for the diabetes community and an inspiration to Nadia and other youth living with T1D.
