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 the Society 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.

Swim 1.5K, bike 40 more and then run 10K. For non-swimmer Valicity "Visa" Lattimore, who hadn't ridden a bike for years, it seemed impossible. Yet she completed her first Olympic-distance triathlon after training with TNT for just 15 weeks. The inspiration? Her son, William, now 9 years old, an acute lymphocytic leukemia survivor who says he's "thankful to be alive" and thankful to mom and everyone who participates in Team In Training. - Valicity Lattimore, William's Mom
