Frank and Nicole Diano have a profound love and joy for life. They are always the first to lend a hand for someone in need, show support for friends, family, school and their community. Whether at hockey rinks, school events, going to North Conway, visiting friends and family, they have always lived a full life, valuing every simple moment- - until last October when life as they know it halted abruptly and in a terrifying way. Not only were they in the midst of the pandemic, but Frank was diagnosed with Stage IV Cancer and treatment needed to begin immediately. Looking at their young children, they have vowed to fight every step of the way to make Dad “Papa” better again.

Frank has been fighting with all he has, braving multiple rounds of chemo, painful and debilitating side effects and many hospitalizations. Nicole has been a strong and steadfast warrior for Frank, taking care of the children, researching treatment options, working full time and taking care of medical and hospital visits. Many treatment costs and expenses are not covered by insurance and it can be an unbearable weight on a family already suffering. We know this isn’t a journey for the faint of heart, and it's not one for them to go alone.

As friends, we are rallying behind them and kindly ask for your show of support for the Diano family so they can focus on treating Frank with all possible options during this difficult time. We are all just so grateful for those of you who have reached out with a desire to help, and to give love and support to the Diano Family. Please join us in coming together for such a beloved and amazing family.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

The Tinnirello Family, The DiGiacomo Family and The Qualtieri Family
