Southern New Jersey - Shore Region

One of the most unique and special aspects of the TNT program is that each participant will have the opportunity to participate for an Honored Hero, a local blood cancer patient or survivor in whose honor they train and raise funds. TNT participants are also encouraged to train in honor or memory of someone in their personal life. Through your Honored Hero, you will understand the bravery and spirit shown every day by patients and survivors of blood cancers.  Their experiences will inspire and motivate you to test the limits of your endurance and successfully complete your chosen event.

Who is an Honored Hero?

An Honored Hero is someone who provides inspiration and support to the fundraising programs of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Honored Heroes serve as motivational symbols of strength, reminding participants to always remember the reason. An Honored Hero is anyone who is being treated for, or is a survivor of leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease or myeloma.
