BALTIMORE -- Mateo Adajar traveled across the country to see Mark Andrews on Monday to deliver a special message to the Baltimore Ravens' Pro Bowl tight end.
"I have diabetes, and I love football," Adajar, a 12-year-old from Danville, California, told Andrews. "When I see you play, it lets me know that diabetes won't stop me from making it to the NFL."
Andrews, who is a Type 1 diabetic, shook Adajar's hand and gave him a hug. It was one of many connections that Andrews made on World Diabetes Day.
Andrews spent the evening at M&T Bank Stadium taking questions from 20 children who use a specialized insulin pump from Tandem Diabetes Care.
