About Team in Training:
If crossing the finish line after running or walking 26.2 miles or 13.1 miles, cycling 100 miles or completing a triathlon while helping cure deadly diseases are things you've always wanted to accomplish, The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Team In Training ® will make them happen.
Join the thousands of runners, walkers, cyclists and triathletes who will participate in the world's major marathons , half marathons , centuries and triathlons this year on behalf of the Society.
Benefits:
As the largest endurance sports training program in the world, we will provide you with the experience of a lifetime , including:
- Coaching and training
- Travel to a major marathon, half marathon, century or triathlon in exciting locations
- The opportunity to make your athletic goals a reality (an unbeatable offer with great personal rewards)
- A connection with an honored patient so you know just who and what you're doing it all for
The reason:
In exchange for training and support, you help raise money towards cures for blood cancers like leukemia -- the No. 1 disease killer of children -- lymphoma and myeloma.
How serious is blood cancer? Every five minutes, someone in the United States learns that he or she has leukemia, Hodgkin or non-Hodgkin lymphoma or myeloma. Every ten minutes, someone dies of a blood cancer.
Our athletes have walked away with new friends, amazing accomplishments and the sense that they did something even more important than getting in good shape. |
