The Northern Ohio Chapter's Team In Training^® (TNT) program offers a 16- to 20-week daily training schedule designed for everyone from novice to advanced athlete. Seasoned coaches provide you with the training and information necessary to cross the finish line of a major endurance event, healthy and proud!

Our knowledgeable and accessible coaches work with you on form, nutrition and apparel so that you are ready to do your best on race day. To learn more about our sports programs, please click here. Your mentor, a former team member, offers moral support throughout the program. Your honored teammate, a local child or adult survivor of a blood cancer, motivates you to continue training and excel at your selected event.

In return, you have the opportunity to help LLS succeed in its mission. When you meet or exceed your fundraising goal, The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society says "thank you" by providing race registration, round trip airfare, hotel stay, pre-race pasta dinner and post-race victory celebration for event weekend.

Don't miss this opportunity to experience the rewards of completing an endurance event while helping cure leukemia, lymphoma and myeloma. To register today for an upcoming information meeting, please complete our Tell Me More form.

When Ed Stone joined Team In Training at age 26, he had already learned the hard way that "what doesn't kill you makes you strong." As a young college student, he was diagnosed with acute myelogenous leukemia, a cancer that nearly ended his life. It took a risky bone marrow transplant to save him. During the next 13 years, he battled and persevered through two additional types of cancer. As if battling cancer weren't enough, at the same time, Ed trained with TNT for no less than 12 events, including marathons, half marathons, century (100-mile) bike rides and eight triathlons! "Cancer and the challenges of treatment taught me a few things about endurance," said Ed. "When I learned I could train with TNT and raise funds for cancer research to help others, there was no stopping me." Ed is living proof of the "mind-body connection." He has beaten cancer and evolved into a world-class athlete. He is the living answer to the question: "I wonder if I could do an endurance event?" And the answer is, with "Team In Training, yes you can!"
