Event with Team in Training

What: Participate in an endurance event with Team In Training. Train with a team and complete an endurance event while raising money for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. You can hike, run, walk, cycle, or do a triathlon. Even if you have never done any of the events before, they provide training, support and a great life changing experience.
Why it's my one of my favorite things:  This is a life changing experience, the energy, support and people are amazing. They have become some of my greatest friends. They truly care about the cause and are so positive and upbeat about the program. I was able to complete something that only 3% of the population can say they have done; a marathon. Now I have done over 30 endurance events and I am addicted. I have raised over $20,000 for blood cancer and truly feel I have made a difference.
Pros: The program is designed to take a person from start to finish, regardless of fitness level. The fundraising support is also very helpful. The event is so amazing and is truly life changing.
Cons: This is a several month commitment, over 5 months for some seasons. And early morning trainings on a weekend.
How: Go to the Team In Training website to find an event near you. You will hear from the chapter after completing the form.

DO IT, you will not regret it!
