Got involved with TNT Because:
I wanted to be part of something bigger than myself. Being part of the Team in Training fundraising arm fo LLS has shown me that I can make a difference in the lives of others. (Trudi)
Like so many others, my wife dragged me to an info meeting and got me signed up as a participant. Of course, I ended up loving the program and wanted to stay involved. (Robert)
Favorite TNT Event :
I love all of the TNT events. Each has its own flavor and atmosphere. My favorite part is interacting with the 'purple sea' of participants along the course--sharing stories, chatting with chapter buddies, making new friends and seeing my honored team mate heroes complete their events. This is priceless to me. (Trudi)
I enjoy coaching the Houston Marathon--it is fun to have so many TNT participants involved and I enjoy supporting the group. (Robert) |
