Meet Zac. He was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes when he was just a baby, leaving his parents sleepless and worried. With the care and education they received at Joslin Diabetes Center, they make sure Zach’s diabetes is well managed, which lets him focus on riding his bike and being a superhero.

From now through February 21st, you can make a gift at any TJ Maxx register and 100% goes directly to Joslin to support families like Zac’s.

Zac’s family is profoundly thankful for the vital funds donated by TJ Maxx customers, which directly support real families like theirs facing this relentless diagnosis. Thanks to TJ Maxx and thank you!

Molly McDonald is excited to run the 2026 Boston Marathon® presented by Bank of America with Team BILH in support of Joslin Diabetes Center. This race is deeply personal for Molly, as she is running in loving memory of her grandparents. Her grandmother lived with diabetes for nearly 45 years, and Molly attributes her longevity in large part to the exceptional treatment she received at Joslin.

Her grandfather was her grandmother’s greatest advocate throughout her care, and he was thrilled when Molly applied to run the Boston Marathon on behalf of Joslin. While he sadly passed away in October 2025, Molly will be honoring him and her grandmother with every step she takes, as she runs to raise awareness for a cause that means so much to her and her family.
