It was announced today that Denver Broncos quarterback Jay Cutler- who was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes last spring and established himself as one of the National Football League's top young quarterbacks with a Pro Bowl season in 2008 - will become an Ambassador for the Inspired by Diabetes campaign.

Jay will kick off his involvement in the Inspired by Diabetes campaign with activities during Super Bowl week in Tampa, visiting Tampa Bay-area All Children's Hospital to meet with families of children with type 1 diabetes. His message: encouraging people affected by diabetes to enter the Inspired by Diabetes global contest and help someone else in the process.

As you may know, Jay was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in the spring of 2008 and since has made it his mission to demonstrate to children that they can still succeed with diabetes. Through the Jay Cutler Foundation, established after the 2007 season, Jay works to help charities and organizations that have a profound effect on helping people in need.
