Trey Adams
We would like for you to meet Trey.
Trey has been a dancer from before he was born. He would dance in his moms belly when fast songs would come on especially dances like jive. He was born to dance but it has not been easy for him.
When Trey was still in utero, his mom had complications and she spent a month in the hospital. When Trey was born he was premature and had to stay in the NICU unit for 28 days before he could come home. During his NICU stay, his dad would play music for him every time they would visit. Trey would have his feet moved in cha cha and rumba rhythms before he could even come home. Once he was home he was a bright young baby.
When Trey was 3 years old he was having trouble understanding when to go to the restroom. It got to the point that there was an obvious issue that it was not an unwillingness to try, but the inability to tell he needed to go. He also started to lose balance and coordination and said he had spiders going down his legs. With the help of doctors they determined that he had a tethered cord. When he was 3 years old he had back surgery to help correct the problem.
Once Trey had the surgery he had no more issues. He was a great young boy that started to really get into dance. He did his first ballroom competition at the age of 4. He also did tap, jazz, ballet, and anything that he could do. Then the world shut down when COVID hit. Little did they know that COVID wasn't the biggest change that was going to happen to them.
During COVID Trey stopped dancing. With this inactivity signs started to show up that were unusual. One night his dad got him a large Hershey bar and Trey, 10 at the time, ended up wetting the bed. This was worrisome and his parents took him in to see if his tethered cord was happening again. Little did they know that what they thought was a tethered cord was the first signs of diabetes.
Trey was soon diagnosed with type 1 Diabetes. This was a blow for him and his parents. The health problems seem to keep happening to him. The only way to get through was together and keep on dancing. Trey and his family soon had to realize that he needed a lot more help to make sure he can continue to do what he loves. With the help of the Wendy Novak Center Trey is still able to dance and plan for long weekends. It is a constant struggle with his sugar and the amount of dancing he enjoys to do. It was soon discovered that he has a food allergy to gluten making him having to watch what he eats as well.
Will you help Trey make sure he can dance? He was born to dance and has a bright future in the dance community. He does Standard, Smooth, Latin and some Rhythm styles. He also does showcase numbers and he truly lights up the floor when he dances. Him and his family would be very appreciative if you were to sponsor him in one dance or as many as you want.
