  • Training to run or walk a marathon or half marathon, provided by online experienced coaches and experts  
  • Transportation and accommodations to the featured event
  • A once-in-a-lifetime experience to complete a personal goal and, at the same time, to help stop leukemia and other blood cancers from taking more lives  
  • Inspiration by a patient hero - a child or adult cheering for you every step of the way
  • Your very own Web site to help tell others about your participation in TNT and to help raise funds online from friends, family and co-workers

In return, VTNT participants commit to raising funds to support the Society's mission of finding cures for leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease and myeloma and improving the quality of life of patients and their families.
