For 20 years, The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Team In Training program has been unparalleled in training people from first-timers to seasoned athletes to achieve their best.   390,000 TNT participants have raised over $950 million for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.  Be a part of the TEAM that's saving lives...one mile at a time!

The need is critical:

• Every four minutes someone new is diagnosed.
• Every ten minutes someone will lose a life.
• Leukemia causes more deaths than any other cancer among children and young adults under the age of 20.
• An estimated 895,000 North Americans are living with a blood cancer.
