The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Central Ohio Chapter's Team In Training^® (TNT) program offers a 16- to 20-week, daily training schedule designed for the novice to advanced athlete. TNT will prepare you to make a difference one mile at a time!

Our knowledgeable and accessible coaches will work with you on form, nutrition and apparel so that you are ready to cross the finish line of a major endurance event. Your mentor, a former team member, will provide you with fundraising ideas and moral support throughout the program. Your hero, a local child or adult who is receiving treatment for, or is in remission from, cancer, will give you the added inspiration to keep training and to push towards the finish line.

In return, participants have the opportunity to help the Society succeed in its mission: To cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease and myeloma and improve the quality of life of our patients and their families. When athletes meet or exceed their fundraising goal, the Society says thanks by covering the participant's race registration, round trip airfare and hotel stay for event weekend.

Don't miss this opportunity to experience the rewards of completing an endurance event while helping to accelerate cures for leukemia, Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin lymphoma and other blood cancers. We are currently recruiting for our Fall events:

• Nation's Triathlon (Washington, D.C.) - Sunday, Sept. 14, 2008
• The Nationwide Better Health Columbus (Ohio) Marathon - Sunday, Oct. 19, 2008
• Nike Women's Marathon (San Francisco, Calif.) - Sunday, Oct. 19, 2008
