You've been involved with TNT now for a few months. For most of you, you have probably found yourself in a spot when the words, "That is the longest distance that I've run or walked in my life" have come to mind. You, as well, have probably raised more money for a cause than ever before. You have started to scratch the surface of what you are capable of, but this is really just the beginning. As you increase those miles, and as you reach, or far exceed those fundraising goals, you will continue to build upon an experience that is hopefully one of the greatest things that you've ever done. Cherish those thoughts. Know that you are doing something great for you, and also something incredible for our mission. GO TEAM!
Group Training - You are more than welcome to go to either training location. I will be at the Valley Forge training for the beginning only. If you have things to drop off to me or need to pick-up please do so BEFORE you start running/walking because I will be leaving right after you go off.
TEAM NEWS

THE HOME STRETCH
One dollar and one mile at a time we will achieve the goals of our mission. We will find cures for these blood cancers. None of this would possible without each of you. Thank you again and again.

About Me
- Stephen
- 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.
