The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Team In Training®
(TNT) helps participants fight blood cancers while training them
to cross the finish line of a major marathon, half marathon, triathlon or
100-mile century cycling event.
The Upstate New York/Vermont Chapter offers a variety of events and
programs that make the TNT experience a memorable one. Our program provides
experienced Coaches to help participants reach their fitness goals, and
Mentors who provide encouragement and advice.
When TNT participants meet their fundraising goal, the Society arranges
airfare and lodging to the events. Participants train in honor of a local
honored patient or survivor for motivation and inspiration along the way.

His name is Jaidan and he looks like any other adorable 3
year-old boy, playing with cars, trucks and his big
brother. But looks can be deceiving. Jaidan has been
undergoing treatment for acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL)
since he was 18 months old. When he was diagnosed with
blood cancer, it was beyond frightening. My cousin passed
away from leukemia, and all I could think of was, 'I'm
going to lose my baby.' The doctors explained that for ALL,
the prognosis is good. Still when your baby is in pain and
can't understand why, you just feel helpless. Jaidan is
responding well to treatment, with a little more than a
year to go. Thanks to research, we are fortunate.
When you think about participating in Team In Training,
think about our little boy and what your efforts will mean
to us and to hundreds of thousands of others battling blood
cancers.
- Ericka Richardson, Jaidan's Mom
