Date:8/17/2011

ATLANTA, Aug. 17, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- The 14th annual Victory Over Diabetes event, hosted by the American Diabetes Association (the Association), will take place in Atlanta on August 20, featuring educational workshops, free health screenings and resources designed to encourage African Americans to take control of their health and better manage their type 2 diabetes. In attendance will be Eli Lilly and Company's Fearless African-Americans Connected and Empowered (F.A.C.E.) Diabetes initiative spokesperson, award-winning actor and comedian Anthony Anderson(1).  

As the newest face to join Lilly's F.A.C.E.

Diabetes booth.

"Being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes is life changing, but with the help of a team of medical professionals, I've taken control of my disease," said Anderson. "I'm eager to share my story at Victory Over Diabetes and hope to encourage the African American community in Georgia to feel empowered to take control of their own health."
