Welcome to the Oregon & SW Washington Chapter's Team In Training (TNT)® web site.

TNT is the world's largest endurance sports training program. This unique program provides you with the coaching, training and even the travel opportunities to make your athletic goals a reality. It's an unbeatable offer with great personal rewards.

In exchange for training and support, you raise money toward cures for leukemia, Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin lymphoma and myeloma - deadly blood cancers that take the lives of thousands of Americans each year. 

Our Winter Season is underway, however it's not too late to join our
P.F. Chang's® Rock 'n' Roll ArizonaTM Marathon & 1/2 Marathon Team!

Please contact Lindsay at Lindsay.Niemeyer@lls.org or 503.245.9866 x217
for more information about this flat and fast course!

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!"
