Fran has lived north of Boston her entire life. She received her master’s degree in nursing administration from Northeastern University and works as the Nursing Director in the Emergency Department at Boston Children’s Hospital.

Fran was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in her early 30’s. About ten years after that, her father died from complications of T1D. In an effort to honor her father and support diabetes research, she began participating in fundraising events with the American Diabetes Association (ADA). She participated in two full- and six half-marathons to benefit diabetes research. She has participated multiple times in the ADA New England Classic 150-mile, two-day bike ride to support research and also to financially assist families of children with type 1 diabetes to attend Camp Carefree in New Hampshire.

Lyndsay Gregerson’s passion to advocate wellness in those living with diabetes comes from her personal experience of having Type 1 diabetes diagnosed at the age of three. It’s this first-hand experience and awareness of the importance of diet and exercise on her own health that served as a catalyst for her career in dietetics while focusing on diabetes.

After earning a Bachelor of Science in dietetics from the University of Wisconsin-Stout, Lyndsay completed her dietetic internship at Loyola University-Chicago and went on to become a registered and licensed dietitian. In 2008, she achieved certification as a Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist (CDCES). Lyndsay has worked in several roles in the diabetes field, with a focus on supporting PWD utilize technology. She currently resides in Milwaukee, WI and works remotely for Welldoc.

Lyndsay’s drive for not letting T1D “get in the way” is evident with her participation in endurance sports. She has completed 2 Ironman Triathlons (a 140.6-mile race), 3 half-Ironman distance triathlons, 3 marathons and several half-marathons and sprint/Olympic triathlons. Also known as ‘Lil Herc’, she was a skater with the Brewcity Bruisers (Milwaukee Roller Derby). When she is not training, she enjoys traveling, concerts, any outdoor activity and cooking.

Mike was diagnosed with T1D in 2010 at the age of 43. To say this came as a surprise to him was quite an understatement. However, to finally understand why his body was reacting the way it was, was a relief. Mike has raced bikes, be it road, mountain, cyclocross or triathlon for over 30 seasons. Mike has competed in over 900 events over his athletic career and has notched up 90+ victories. Since his diagnosis of T1D, Mike has qualified for the Ironman World Championships, raced the Kona IM World Championships and won an Age-Group World title in off-road triathlon.
