  All accepted runners must make a commitment to fundraise for Joslin’s High Hopes Fund. Funds raised directly support Joslin Diabetes Center's High Hopes Fund in research, education and the ability to give our patients the best care possible. Joslin is the longest running diabetes center in the country, affiliated with Harvard Medical School and focused on finding a cure for this disease. Diabetes is the greatest healthcare epidemic of our time: 24 million children and adults in the U.S. have diabetes and millions more have it but are undiagnosed.  Just about everyone knows someone who lives day to day with the trials of diabetes; it truly is a disease that touches us all.
