Twenty years ago, a man named Bruce Cleland trained with a group of friends and ran the New York City Marathon in honor of his baby daughter Georgia, who had leukemia. They referred to themselves as the “team in training,” and the name stuck.
Twenty years later, the Society’s Team In Training (TNT) is the world’s largest endurance sports training program, providing coaching and support for people to cross the finish line at marathons, half marathons, triathlons and 100-mile cycling events. Over 360,000 participants have raised more than $850 million for lifesaving cancer research and to help blood cancer patients live longer, better lives.
Become part of a team that has helped fight blood cancers in your area and meet like-minded friends interested in making a difference. By helping to raise funds for leukemia, lymphoma and myeloma research and patient services, you’ll receive:
