Team In Training has trained more than 17,000 Northern Californians to
cross finish lines around the world. All participants are involved in
a lifesaving mission: To cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's
disease and myeloma, and improve the quality of life of patients and
their families.
 Local Honoree: Shelby Miguel
Right after her fourth birthday, Shelby was diagnosed with an aggressive
cancer called Burkitts Lymphoma. After enduring five months of
chemotherapy and all its punishing side effects, she emerged a strong
survivor.
As an honoree for Team in Training, Shelby enjoys cheering on
participants. We asked her what TNT means to her, and here's what she said:
"My runners are running so they can get money to buy better medicine for
kids who were sick like me, so all of them can get better like me."
Challenge yourself,
save lives and have fun. Go Team!

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!"
