Della Reese
Della Reese began
singing in church in
her hometown of
Detroit, Michigan
when she was six
years old. This early
introduction to the
world of gospel set
the stage for Della¹s music legacy that
has spanned five decades. Della is
perhaps best known for her work on the
CBS network hit ³Touched By An Angel,²
for which she has received an Emmy
Award nomination as well as five
consecutive NAACP Image Awards for
Outstanding Lead Actress in a Television
Drama Series.
Several years ago, Della was diagnosed
with type 2 diabetes. After working with
her health- care team, she has learned to
be stronger than diabetes by eating right,
staying active and taking medication
every day. She is now publicly revealing
her personal story with type 2 diabetes
with the hope
of educating
and motivating
others with the
disease.
Douglas Cairns was a jet pilot and flight instructor in the British Royal Air Force (RAF) when, in 1989, he was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. With his pilot's license revoked because of his diabetes, Douglas left the RAF and changed careers.
In 1999, Douglas discovered that it was possible to obtain a United States medical license to fly solo privately by meeting certain medical requirements. He obtained that license. 'Diabetes World Flight' was born to show that it is possible for such pilots to fly safely according to US FAA regulations. Douglas Cairns flew around the world in 159 days, flying over 26,300 nautical miles and visiting 22 countries. He is a living example that diabetes does not have to limit the scope of our dreams.
