Bennett lost a loved one in 2009 to diabetes and a grandmother was recently diagnosed with the disease.
Bennett, along with his brother, Michael, who plays for Tampa Bay, and his father Michael Sr., is urging the public to take advantage of the free kidney health screenings that will take place at Dallas City Hall on Thursday.
"I am honored to stand with my sons in support of an initiative that potentially could mobilize hundreds, thousands or hundreds of thousands of people to become proactive - get the facts - and take charge of their kidney health and overall well-being. Many people afflicted with diabetes and/or kidney disease may have lacked the resources or the awareness to prevent the progression of their illnesses," Michael Bennett, Sr., President of Truly Blessed Foundation, said in a press release. "It is my solemn hope that through this effort that provides free health screenings to any member of the community willing to partake, that number will diminish tremendously. I'm hopeful."
