Team in Training
Team In Training (TNT), The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's (LLS) groundbreaking charity sports training program, has reached a remarkable milestone of raising $1 billion to support blood cancer research and patient services.
For more than 21 years, TNT has grown to become an unparalleled charity endurance training program. More than 420,000 participants, from first timers to seasoned athletes, have trained with TNT and achieved their best at marathons, half marathons, triathlons, 100-mile century bike rides and hiking adventures.
The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) is the world's largest voluntary health organization dedicated to funding blood cancer research and providing education and patient services. They have invested more than $680 million in research since 1949 - over $69 million in 2009 - specifically targeting leukemia, lymphoma and myeloma. Last year alone, LLS made 4.9 million contacts with patients, caregivers and healthcare professionals.

I signed up with TNT in June 2002 to run my first marathon in memory of my friend Seema Chauhan. It was such an amazing experience, I went back the very next training season to be a mentor and I have not stopped running. I met some amazing individuals like Alex Flowe, Peggy Goode, Ashton Schaffer and Arlene Klauber through TNT's honored teammate program. Since then I also raised considerable amount of money for cancer research and completed 25 marathons, 30 half marathons and several other races.
