What is Yes I can! Yes you can! : tackle diabetes and win! about?

Yes I Can! Yes You Can! tells the inspiring story of Jay Leeuwenburg, who was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at age twelve and refused to allow it to prevent him from living a full, active life. Jay insisted that he be able to participate in any sports activity he chose. To not participate, he says, would be like saying, Dont breathe. He became a unanimous All-American at the University of Colorado and played nine years in the National Football League. Jay used his NFL stardom to become a rare role model for children with diabetes. His message: Yes You Can! His example also provides hope for parents of children with diabetes, encouraging them to be supportive but not sympathetic as their youngsters learn first to cope with, and then to overcome, their lifelong disease.
