“Donovan McNabb, a former NFL Quarterback of Phoenix Arizona, has also made a name for himself spreading the word about diabetes. The Donovan McNabb Fund, which he formed in 2000, the year after the Eagles drafted him out of Syracuse University, has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for ADA. The foundation has also supported the diabetes camp since 2001. “My foundation is something that’s close to me. I have a lot of relatives who have diabetes and a lot of friends who have been diagnosed,” says McNabb, 32, who grew up in Chicago. He lost his grandmother, Maude Eva Jenkins, to diabetes-related complications in 1997; his father, Samuel McNabb, a retired electrical engineer, was diagnosed with type 2 in 1996. Part of the foundation’s goal in raising diabetes awareness, says Donovan McNabb, is “making sure [people] go and talk to their doctors, get tested for it, and learn more about it.” His entire family — father Sam; mother Wilma; brother Sean; and Donovan — supports the awareness effort.”
