Joseph “Rev Run” Simmons wants adults over age 45 to run and get screened for and to know the risk factors of type 2 diabetes—since more than one in three American adults is at risk for diabetes.
You probably know Rev Run as a founding member of Run-D.M.C., the legendary hip-hop group that’s generally regarded as the conveyor of rap music into mainstream culture.
Rev Run, now an ordained minister, is on a mission to share positive messages of family, faith, and health, and is frontman of the Ask.Screen.Know. diabetes awareness campaign for global healthcare company Novo Nordisk. According to the American Diabetes Association, African Americans are disproportionately affected by diabetes when compared to the general population. That means 4.9 million or 18.7 percent of all African Americans aged 20 years or older have diabetes.
