YOUR WAY!

Do you enjoy fun athletic adventures and fundraising for great causes? If you would like to be a part of Team In Training, but just don't want to be burdened by a big fundraising commitment right now, check out these two programs that make the TNT adventure a little more for YOU...

• TNT Your Way
• Reason 2 Race

TNT YOUR WAY:
TNT Your Way is a fun way for you to make any event you participate in a fundraiser for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Whether you choose foot racing, mountain climbing, adventure racing, kayaking, a 10K swim, you name it... it can be a TNT fundraising event.

Here's how it works:

1. Register for your event on your own. Do a 5K or a triathlon. Or get creative and sign up for a cross country ski event. Do something big like an Ironman or go somewhere fun like the Paris Marathon. When we say "your way", we mean "your way". Once you register for your event, contact your local TNT staff and tell them you're ready to fundraise with "TNT Your Way".
2. Set up your fundraising webpage. You receive the same fundraising tools with TNT Your Way that you do with the traditional Team In Training fundraising. Your local staff is available to help you create your fundraising strategy. You set your own goal amount. Whether you raise $1 or $1 million, it's all done Your Way.
3. You can be reimbursed for qualified race expenses. It is with pride that we can say that 80% of all funds we raise through Team In Training goes to support our mission of curing leukemia, lymphoma and myeloma and improving the quality of life of patients and their families. To keep in line with that commitment, we can reimburse you up to $200 for every $1,000 you raise. Qualified expenses include race entry, airfare and baggage fees, hotel accommodations, and ground transportation.

TNT Your Way Options:

1. TNT Your Way (On Your Own): There is no fundraising commitment. Raise as much money as you can. There is a $50 registration fee to join and this covers your TNT training shirt, personal fundraising website and staff support.
2. TNT Your Way (With The Team): The fundraising commitment for this option is $750. With a $50 registration fee you will receive all of our TNT coaching support, weekly group training sessions, a training shirt, personal fundraising website, race day apparel and fundraising support. For every $1,000 you raise above the $750 commitment, you can be reimbursed $200 for qualified race expenses.

So Get on YOUR WAY!"

REASON 2 RACE:

The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society is excited to partner with Reason 2 Race so that athletes of all ages and ability levels can make LLS their "Reason2Race". This is the only program TNT offers that accepts children so if your kids would like to be part of the TEAM, here's their chance!

With Reason2Race, you have the ability to turn any event into a fundraiser, allowing you to challenge yourself physically while spreading awareness for a great cause. Every dollar that is raised through Reason2Race helps bring LLS closer to a cure for blood cancer.

So, how do you get started? As they say, it's as easy as 1,2,3...

1. Choose your event and get registered. You can do a 5K. You can do an Ironman. You can do an adventure race, cycling event, mountain climbing. The sky is the limit! Just register for a race or event and then...
2. CLICK HERE to set up your Reason2Race donation page. If your event is not listed, all you need to do is email teamintraining_txh@lls.org to request that it be added.
3. Start your fundraising! You should customize your fundraising page and then send out letters and emails to your friends, family and co-workers. Tell them what you are doing and why you would like their support.

There is NO MINIMUM FUNDRAISING AMOUNT. It's up to you how much or little you choose to raise for the Luekemia & Lymphoma Society through your race.

Take the challenge! Many race directors in the Houston area have set up charity challenges in which the top event fundraisers receive additional donations for their chosen charity. These include The Woodlands Charity Challenge, Onurmark Giving Challenge, Texas 10 Series Charity Challenge and Finish Line Sports Charity Challenge. CLICK HERE to learn more about these events.
