Insulet Applauds Employee for Bronze Medal Performance in World Blind Sailing Championships

Jason Wallenstein Honored by Massachusetts Legislature

BEDFORD, Mass., April 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Insulet Corporation employee, Jason Wallenstein, doesn't let his visual impairment or his diabetes keep him from sailing on a world-class level. Wallenstein and his SailBlind team members from the Carroll Center for the Blind in Newton, MA won the bronze medal in the B3 Division at the 2009 Blind Sailing World Championship Regatta in New Zealand.

"I have been sailing all my life. There was no reason why having Type 1 diabetes and becoming visually impaired later in life would hinder my desire to excel in the sport and compete," said Wallenstein. "I am truly honored to be recognized today by Senator Creem and Representative Balser. I hope that my experiences will demonstrate to others that life's challenges can be turned into opportunities."
