“Today, the Alexander Zverev Foundation has officially come to life, supporting children with type 1 diabetes and helping people prevent type 2 diabetes by living a healthy and active life,” Zverev wrote in his announcement. “Our mission is to provide insulin and life-saving medicine to children in developing countries and those in need.”
As part of his announcement, the German revealed he is diabetic.
“As a type 1 diabetic myself, I want to encourage children with diabetes to never give up on their dreams no matter what others might say to you,” Zverev added.
The 25-year-old ended his post with a quote: “The only limit is the one you set yourself.”
Zverev is currently recovering from a right ankle injury he suffered during Roland Garros, for which he underwent surgery in June.
