First of all, thank you for taking a moment to read what we are sharing with you. TNT means the world to us.
When you embark on a journey with Team in Training, you get the VIP treatment. Individual attention to your questions by trained coaches, experienced mentors and wise captains. As you build up the training miles(!!), you are fed and watered by manned Aid Stations donated by your mentors (who sometimes are even in costume!). You earn candy and chocolate for being the best fundraisers. You will train with a super group of individuals whom you will praise as “teammate” sooner than you could imagine.
We are coaches who train because we believe in a bigger cause than an individual’s time across the finish line…we’re here to end the pain and suffering incurred from blood cancers. We want you to enjoy this adventure. I started running about a year ago when I just happened to look up an old friend on Facebook. Oddly enough, he was coaching TNT and doing Ironman Triathlons. He suggested I check out TNT and I never looked back. Sadly, on the day I hit my fundraising minimum, my girlfriend’s mother was diagnosed with Leukemia and given a month to live. The entire team, with special support from Van & Virginia Garner (cancer survivors themselves), were there to support us and disseminate advice to us and her family. Her mother is still very much with us, working away and waiting for a bone marrow transplant. I ran my first marathon in her honor this past January.
You are making a difference in your lives by trusting us to coach you to the finish of your marathon. Millions of blood cancer patients are trusting you will be the one to raise the dollars which supports the research to cure their ailment. Thank you for being a part of this journey. I’ll do my best to make it as special for you as it has been for me.
