A MESSAGE FROM Frank Nelson's TEAM JOSLIN Fundraising Page
I am running the 2022 Chicago Marathon in honor of my 22-year old son, Christopher who was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes when he was just 2-years old. 

** I am running for Christopher **    Upon my son's diagnosis, myself and my family were determined to make a difference against this dreadful disease.  We have done various fundraising missions over the last 20-years, and now I am SUPER excited to partner with Joslin Diabetes Center and to raise as much money as possible to put an end to this disease. These funds ultimately contribute to Joslin's capacity to prevent, treat and cure diabetes through cutting-edge clinical care and research programs.

Please consider supporting this great charity and be a part of a global effort to fight diabetes and make a difference.
