Usher Raymond has opened up to about his 7-year old son Usher V's (aka "Cinco") struggle with type 1 diabetes.
The singer and Voice alum is using his celebrity as a platform to advocate for a cure for the disease, which prevents the body from producing insulin and is usually diagnosed in children and young adults.
Usher says there has been a lot of adjusting.
But the biggest change has been “a greater deal of appreciation for the bravery that children his age have,” he told PEOPLE exclusively Wednesday (10/28) in New York at the JDRF‘s Promise Ball, which aimed to raise awareness and money for research and a cure.
“A child that every day has to prick himself and has to be cautious of what he eats and also to carry this disorder around — that really is the type of bravery that we all aspire to have,” says +Usher, 37, who attended the event with his reported wife Grace Miguel.
