Mission Moment - Stela Moen (Blood Cancer Survivor)

"As a volunteer of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, don't ever walk away from a training or a fundraising effort thinking you did "nothing" that day. Even when you're feeling down or discouraged, please know YOU have positively affected so many people's lives, just by being a part of TNT. Know that there are thousands of people who are thankful for what you do on a daily basis."

Stela Moen - Team In Training Campaign Manager (Washington DC Area)


This thank you goes out not only to all of your runners and walkers but also to the coaches and mentors who are giving so much of themselves to help make Team In Training so great.

About Me

I became involved with Team In Training during the Spring 2007 season by training for the New Jersey Marathon in Long Branch, New Jersey. Prior races include several 5K and 10K events, and one half marathon. Training for an endurance event takes a lot of commitment, courage, and vision. Looking back on my casual running experience for the past two decades, I never imagined training for a marathon! Through Team In Training, I found a great training program, developed new friendships, and made a significant impact by raising funds to help stop leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease and myeloma from taking more lives. I am continually inspired by our featured team heroes and the personal stories from friends, family, and teammates that were shared during my initial fundraising for the cause. Please enjoy reading the past stories of my experience.
