Welcome to the South Carolina Chapter of
The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Team In Training®!

We're so happy you're visiting!

 Team In Training (TNT) is the world's largest endurance sports training program.  Since 1988, more than 380,000 volunteer participants have helped raise over $900 million for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Members of TNT raise funds for blood cancer research and patient services as they train as a group to complete an endurance event in honor of a community member affected by leukemia, lymphoma or myeloma. Participants may choose to train for a variety of endurance events, such as:

Full (26.2 mi) and half (13.1 mi) marathons (walking or running)Triathlons Cenury (100 mi.) bike rides
 
From the beginner to the seasoned pro, TNT offers
the opportunity to get fit, make memories, and make a difference in the lives of others.
We are still recruiting members to join our winter team
and train for the following events:

WINTER SEASON 2008/2009 (Training began in August/September)

 Sunday  Jan. 18  P. F. Chang's Rock 'N' Roll Marathon & Half Marathon   Phoenix, AZ

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!"
