WHAT IS TEAM IN TRAINING?
Team In Training (TNT) is the world’s largest and most successful endurance sports charity training program. Since its inception 25 years ago, TNT has raised over $1 billion for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS) to support blood cancer research and patient services.

TNT has also prepared more than 500,000 people to achieve their dream of completing a marathon, half marathon, triathlon, 100-mile (century) bicycle ride or hike adventure.

WHERE DO THE DONATIONS GO?
The money raised by TNT participants enables LLS to fund millions of dollars of research for new treatment and cure and education for cancer patients and their loved ones.

Nearly 50% of all cancer drugs approved by the FDA during the past decade were for blood cancers, and they are helping other patients as well. In the past 40 years, survival rates for children with leukemia have improved from 3% to 90%; Hodgkin lymphoma patient survival rates have more than doubled to 88% since the 1960s; and the survival rate for myeloma patients has tripled in past decade.

WHO PARTICIPATES IN TEAM IN TRAINING?
Anyone from seasoned athletes to running novices. While many participants train in honor of a loved one who has been affected by cancer or are themselves a cancer survivor, other participants join the program to support the mission of LLS, accomplish a personal goal, or meet new people as part of a team.

In addition to the athletes-in-training, each team has honored teammates who are local blood cancer patients and/or survivors. These honored teammates cheer the participants along from the first day of training to the event day.
