Adams, one of the major partners of the Brooklyn Diabetes Awareness Fair. \u201cThrough my own experience dealing with Type 2 Diabetes, I learned that the body has an incredible capacity to heal itself with exercise, and nutritious foods, such as fruits, vegetables and natural products. The Wellness and Resource Series is exactly the kind of community collaboration we should be focused on to help our friends and neighbors take control of their health.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other partners include New York For Seniors, the American Diabetes Association, Access A Ride, Brooklyn Sports Club, the Department of Aging, and many more.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The fair is free for all attendants and open to the public.
