Texas Gulf Coast

Welcome to the Texas Gulf Coast Chapter!

The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Team In Training ^® (TNT) is the world's largest endurance sports training program. Participants of all athletic levels are supported in achieving the ultimate goal of running or walking a marathon or half marathon, cycling a century ride, completing a triathlon or hike adventure while raising funds to find cures for leukemia, Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin lymphoma and myeloma.

You don't have to be young, a great athlete or even in terrific shape to join Team In Training. An experienced TNT coach will guide you through a comprehensive four- to five-month program tailored to suit your abilities, and you will enjoy the camaraderie of team members as you train and fundraise together.

Your honored teammate from the Texas Gulf Coast Chapter will be your inspiration and added source of motivation. Each team member meets and trains on behalf of a local patient who faces a far greater challenge - surviving a blood cancer.

You will be their symbol of hope for a cancer-free tomorrow by your fundraising efforts to support the Society's life-saving programs in research, education and patient aid. Airfare, hotel and race entry costs are just some of the expenses TNT will cover for anyone who reaches his or her fundraising goal.
