Nick Jonas raises diabetes awareness in DC

Nick Jonas was one of the youngest people to speak at the National Press Club in Washington on Monday.

The 16-year-old Jo-Bro was in the capitol city to raise awareness for diabetes, a condition that he himself suffers from.

Nick, Joe and Kevin head up the charity The Change for the Children Foundation, which raised over $750,000 for diabetes research last year. So not only are they the biggest heartthrobs in the world right now, they’re nice guys too.

Nick also alluded to the fact that he may one day run for the top job in Washington, saying he’d always dreamt of becoming president.

I’m sure he’d have the vote of every fan that will be hitting MuchMusic this Sunday. That’s right, the Jonas Brothers will be here live for a special Live@Much on August 30th at 3pm ET.

They’ll also be bringing along their pals Honor Society, who will be performing two songs.

To score wristbands, watch Much this Friday from 5-7 pm ET. We’ll be giving you a number clues to collect your chance to be part of our live audience. You must be at least 14 years of age to receive a wristband.
