TEAM IN TRAINING MISSION STATEMENT
Team In Training is a comprehensive endurance training program for runners, walkers, cyclists and triathletes to benefit The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. The goal of Team In Training is to increase funding to support The Society’s mission while promoting fitness and healthy lifestyles.
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
Team In Training (TNT) is the Society's premier fundraising event and the world's largest fitness training program. In the fiscal year 2001, more than 30,000 participants entered over 50 accredited endurance events in the United States and abroad under the auspices of Team In Training. One of every 15 contestants completing US marathons participated through Team In Training. Since it's inception in 1988, Team In Training athletes have raised more than $430 million to help fund blood cancer research and patient support services. The South/West
Texas Chapter has joined the national trend and has experienced rapid growth; in the upcoming years, we will continue to grow as we increase our corporate involvement and enhance our run, walk, cycle and triathlon programs in the Austin, San Antonio & Corpus Christi areas. Team In Training offers runners, walkers, cyclists and triathletes of all fitness abilities a four to five month comprehensive training program under the guidance
of local prominent athletes/trainers. In return for this professional training and travel to a marathon, century or triathlon site, the TNT volunteers raise valuable funds in the fight against leukemia, lymphoma and blood-related cancers. Each member of our team is participating in honor of a child or adult from our community affected with leukemia, lymphoma or other blood related cancers. Completing a marathon, triathlon or a century ride is a celebration of human spirit, physical ability and mental endurance. For members of Team In Training, it is also a celebration of life.
