The Founders of Athletes 4 Change

My name is Allen Williams III, former NFL running back for the Detroit Lions. My wife and I are the founders of the Athletes 4 Change foundation. This foundation is geared toward educating people about diabetes and also sharing my knowledge that I have gained throughout my professional career and in life. Someone once told me that the things you are most passionate about are the ones that hit close to home. I have lost my grandparents to this disease and it is also affecting my wife's family. This disease does not discriminate. The more we can discover and the earlier diabetes can be detected, the better chance we have at finding a cure. Through my years of being involved in different foundations and organizations, I have found that it is important to me as an individual to give back and also educate people of all walks of life. To help make this a success, I have teamed up with The Greater Kansas City Foundation, the Kansas Kaos and the Kaos Girls. I was taught from a very young age that what you put into something is what you are going to get out of it, and I continue to keep these same beliefs. My board of directors and I, along with the Kaos players and Kaos Girls, will do whatever it takes to raise funds to promote screening, treatment, prevention and education on the impact of diabetes in sports and in every day life.

Thank you for your support.
