Hip-hop legend
Joseph "Rev Run" Simmons has joined global health care giant
Novo Nordisk, as ambassador, in the implementation of the new “
Ask.Screen.Know”
educational program in “encouraging people to learn their risk for
diabetes and highlight the need for early diabetes detection.”
Simmons shares, "
Watching
my dad manage his diabetes, I know firsthand the impact that the
disease can have ...Your health is worth the time. That's why I joined
the Ask.Screen.Know. campaign. I'm looking at my own risk of diabetes
and holding myself accountable for my health. I'm asking others to do
the same."
Simmons will also appear in a “national public
service announcement and host a series of local events across the
country.” For more information>>

Famed dj Tiesto has released a new and exclusive compilation, Dance (Red), Save Lives, in efforts to bring about awareness within the Dance community in the fight against AIDS. The new release, in collaboration with U2's Bono, also features popular djs Calvin Harris, Avicii, and Diplo. Tiesto shares, "When I went to Africa in 2006, I was struck by the devastating effect of AIDS. Now the world has an incredible chance to make sure that babies are born HIV free by 2015, and the dance community is going to make a lot of noise to help make this happen."
