Fundraising Friday: Weekend Challenge

The challenge of training is a one that takes everything you've got. You bike in extreme heat and humidity. You swim long distances in rough waters. You run in the pouring rain and on hills. You push your body to do things you might never have dreamed possible.

And what sets you apart is that you are challenging yourself not only physically, but mentally and emotionally too. Training for endurance events for LLS is building strength and faith and hope for you and for the thousands of men, women and children battling blood cancer.

Tommorrow you'll be at group training early once again. It will be hot. But you WILL do it because you have committed to a cause. So, today, we would like to challenge you to work on that fundraising! As you do each of the following three tasks, remind yourself that you are doing this because every three minutes another person in America is diagnosed with blood cancer.

Here are your challenges:

1. Post of photo of yourself wearing your TNT shirt (on your fundraising page or social media).
2. Send another email to remind everyone what you're doing (and don't forget your fundraising link).
3. Tell 3 people you meet (in the grocery store, mall, running trails, restaurant, post office, etc.) about your effort to end blood cancer.

*Your TNT staff is tracking your progress! The person who raises the most money from now through Sunday night will receive a prize. Whether you are training for a running, triathlon or cycle event in the fall or winter season, make the next three days count! In the next three minutes another person will hear the words "you have blood cancer". This is unacceptable! Ready for your challenge?

GO!!!
