2022 National Rookie Challenge Winner
Congratulations to our 2022 National Rookie Challenge winner, Patric Hyland of the New Jersey Region, who raised an astounding $60,780 in support of the LLS mission to cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease and myeloma, and improve the quality of life of patients and their families.

“The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society has been a major part of my life from a very young age, and it feels great to be able to give back to an organization that has done so much for my family.
My father was diagnosed with Acute Myelogenous Leukemia in April 2010 and has faced several battles since then. He participated in many Team in Training events over the years, including Kona in 2013. His journey motivated me to compete the 70.3 Ironman in October 2021 with Team in Training. My dad is doing great and has been in remission since January of 2021 and I’m proud that the funds our family has raised for LLS continue to help find cures and ensure access to treatments for blood cancer patients.
I can’t wait for my next race with Team In Training as we continue this fight together.” – Patric Hyland, 2022 Rookie Challenge Winner
