New Year’s Resolutions include getting fit and giving back? Check them both off your list by signing up to be a part of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s Team in Training the world’s largest endurance sports training program. Choose to run or walk a whole or half marathon, do a triathlon, or a 100 mile bike ride and the Team in Training crew will provide you with certified coaches, training, teammates, and transportation and lodging at one of more than 60 events in the U.S. and overseas.
In exchange for getting you in shape and towards your fitness goals, you help raise
money to fight Leukemia and Lymphoma. While the survival rates against Leukemia have steadily climbed since the seventies due to heroic research by the medical community, Leukemia is still the Number 1 killer of children in America. If there is a disease that every parent wants eradicated, Leukemia is it.
So this is a perfect deal, right? You get in shape, Leukemia gets punched one step closer to extinction. Can’t beat that.
Interested in joining, check Team In Training out online.
Other things to tackle than getting fit? Already in great shape? Donate anyway.
