My name is Dave Hagan, and I am proud to be a run/walk coach for San Gabriel Valley Marathon Team.
This is my eighteenth season with Team In Training. The teams I have been involved with have raised over two and a half million dollars to fight leukemia, lymphoma, and myeloma. As a run coach my job is to help all of you reach the finish line, and I am here to help anyway I can!
I have a PASSION for Team In Training. My brother Craig was diagnosed with leukemia when he was 9. He is now a 30 year survivor thanks in part to research funded by the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. I also have lost two good friends to blood cancers. On December 14th of 2003, my friend Bob passed while awaiting a stem cell transplant – just hours before I was to run the Honolulu Marathon in honor of he and my brother. My friend Lee died of lymphoma almost exactly one year later, so you can see why I am fanatical about TNT.
Unless you have done this before, there is no way you can understand what I am going to say next, but here goes. Team In Training will change your life. You are about to embark on an adventure so rewarding that it cannot be put into words. The quality of the people you will meet while in this program will blow you away, and the Team In Training staff, coaches, captains, and mentors all are wonderfully committed to your success. Together we will make a difference in the fight against these diseases.
