Hathaway Elementary School fourth-grader Paige Maas stands with U.S. Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler of Camas during a trip to Washington, D.C. to advocate for diabetes research and prevention.

Paige Maas may only be 10 years old, but the petite fourth-grader is making a big impact in the fight against diabetes.

Paige, a Washougal resident, has Type 1 diabetes, which requires that she check her blood sugar several times a day and carefully monitor her food and fluid intake. She was diagnosed three years ago.
