Raiders defensive tackle Dan Williams, who wrote one of my favorite stories last year about his late father (http://www.theplayerstribune.com/dan-williams-raiders-dad/), is working with the American Diabetes Foundation on their Team Tackle camps.
Williams’ father had Type 2 Diabetes.
“I just wanted to help inform people of how to live a healthy lifestyle,” Williams said. “Help ADA spread the message.
“It’s personal to me. My father always had to prick his finger all the time. Even when you’re having a conversation, ‘What time is it?’. I didn’t think about it much when I was younger. Didn’t know how it happened.
