Proceeds from this race will benefit The Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.
As stated on their website, The Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation International is the leading charitable funder and advocate of type 1 diabetes research worldwide.
We chose to benefit this organization in light of Ron Santo's passing in December 2010. While driving to run in the Memphis Marathon, we listened to many ESPN stations commenting on Ron Santo's death. After learning about his role in JDRF, we could not think of a greater group to benefit. Feel free to visit the website (www.jdrf.org) to find out more information about JDRF and how YOU can help!
Many race participants and volunteers have someone in their life living with type 1 diabetes. Join these wonderful individuals in participating in a fun race for a great cause!
