The TNT program started in New York in 1986 when Lucy Duffy, a participant in the New York City Marathon, passed out pledge forms to solicit donations for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society for each mile she completed in the 26.2 mile course. Mrs. Duffy raised $30,000 for the Society. Sadly, her husband lost his life to leukemia two months later. TNT continued to grow in strength. In 1988 Bruce Cleland, a volunteer in the Westchester/Hudson Valley Chapter, whose daughter was stricken with acute lymphocytic leukemia, developed a team, and incorporated a training and a fundraising approach with the campaign. Bruce and his teammates completed the 1988 New York City Marathon, raising $320,000 for the Society. Team in Training is the original charitable fundraising marathon program.

Join the more than 30,000 runners, walkers, cyclists and triathletes who will participate in the world's major marathons, triathlons and century rides this year on behalf of the Society.
