Dwayne Johnson, aka The Rock, has fought wrestlers in the ring and the bad guys on the big screen but his latest role as a Diabetes Awareness Ambassador is to fight off diabetes by promoting healthy living and active lifestyles.  In his new Public Service Announcement (PSA) he says,

“Get outside. Play a game. Do something active together. We can make a difference in our own families through exercise, eating right and teaching healthy behaviors to our children,” Johnson, 37, says in the PSA.

The target of the campaign is to reach out to those 24 million Americans who already have diabetes and encourage them to get active.  Dwayne goes on then to say that families need to be active and eat right because it’s these small things that makes diabetes manageable and will also prevent children from getting diabetes later.

Past ambassadors include Halle Berry, Cuba Gooding Jr. and Dustin Hoffman. Maybe the foundation should also consider The View co-host Sherri Shepherd because since she has lost her weight and is eating right, she is no longer taking her prescribed diabetes medication.
