Training
Group training consists of Saturday or Sunday morning workouts at various locations. In addition to hosting the clinics and planning routes and water stops at the group training sessions, your coaches will also send weekly emails that include training tips and updates. These sessions are not mandatory to attend. Many team members also meet for informal weekday group training sessions.

Our Current Training Locations
MA: Boston, Cambridge, South Shore, North Shore, Metro West and Central.

If you do not live in these areas, our TNT Flex program is a great alternative.
Please call a TNT Staff person at 800-688-6572 for more details.

Fundraising
In exchange for the wonderful benefits of the TNT program, participants are asked to raise funds for blood cancer research, education, and patient services. The TNT staff is dedicated to helping you achieve your fundraising goals. To help, we provide you with a fundraising website as well as group and one-on-one fundraising clinics to provide you with out-of-the-box ideas on how to boost donations.

Travel
When participants meet or exceed their fundraising goal, LLS says thanks by covering the participant's race registration, hotel stay and, if chosen, round trip airfare for event weekend. Other prizes are also available.

Patient Ambassador
Each team has an Patient Ambassador, a local child or adult survivor of blood cancers, in whose honor the participant trains, races and raises funds. The Patient Ambassador is a personal connection and will give you the added motivation to keep training and to push hard on the day of the event. Participants have a chance to meet their Patient Ambassador at socials and training. Participants can also train in honor or memory of someone in their personal life.

Mentors
Team mentors, all former team members, will provide you with moral support throughout the program: running with you at group training sessions and offering advise for fundraising.

The result of TNT participants' efforts are life changing for both those who benefit from The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's support and for those who have completed an endurance event after reaching a sizeable fundraising goal."
