Training
Each team will have a coach who will train you to successfully complete a marathon, half-marathon, 100-mile century bike ride or triathlon. Teams train together on a regular basis, usually on the weekends. In addition, the teams meet once a month to discuss training and fundraising issues. Guest speakers are brought in to discuss proper clothes and shoes, nutrition and other aspects of training.

Fundraising
Each team member is asked to raise a set amount of money to participate in their preferred event. Fundraising minimums vary for each event and are based on the costs associated with that event. Funds raised will support The Society's programs in research, patient aid and education. More than 75 cents of every dollar raised goes directly to the mission. The Society's staff will provide you with the materials and information you will need to meet and exceed your fundraising minimum.

Patient Honoree Program
Each Team In Training participant is paired with an honored patient. Your honoree is someone from your local area whose life has been affected by a blood cancer. By honoring a member of your own community and hearing his or her story first-hand, you will be able to understand the extreme value of your efforts.
