Team In Training Celebrates 20 Years of Saving Lives

Join us as we celebrate TNT's 20^th Anniversary on Thursday, November 13^th, 7:00 pm at The Reef in downtown Boise.

The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Team In Training, the world's largest endurance sports training and fundraising program, is reaching a major milestone this year and residents of Idaho/Montana can take part in the celebration. 

Twenty years ago a group of athletes from the New York area hired a coach and trained for the New York City Marathon while they raised money for blood cancer research. The inspiration for their endeavor was a leukemia patient, Georgia Cleland, daughter of the concept's organizer, Bruce Cleland.  From this effort the seed was planted for the Society's Team In Training^® (TNT) program, which today trains approximately 39,000 people a year to participate in marathons, half marathons, triathlons and 100-mile cycling events. 

Since that first team crossed the finish line, more than 340,000 TNT participants have raised more than $800 million for blood cancer research and patient services. Now TNT is setting its sights on reaching the billion dollar mark by the end of this 20^th anniversary celebration year!
