“I’ve always been told that competitive sports won’t work. I want to show that you can do anything despite this illness.”
(Alexander Zverev, 25, Tennis-Olympic champions and diabetics)
Strong words, strong deeds!
On Kid’s Day at the BMW Open in Munich (April 15 to 23), the German number 1 made time for children who also had diabetes. Together with his brother Mischa (35), he trained with them, posed for photos and wrote autographs.
The little ones and the biggest: Alexander Zverev (25) after the first round of training with the children
Role model Zverev, advantage kids!
He was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the age of four. In the meantime, he and his family have founded the Alexander Zverev Foundation, which supports children and young people affected by the disease worldwide. The foundation finances medicines such as the life-saving insulin, supports projects for the development of personality, sporting skills and a healthy lifestyle.
An ace against diabetes!
