Winter Season - Week 18

Happy Holidays from the Staff at The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. We thank you for your ongoing dedication to our mission and wish you a safe holiday season!!

I discovered it wasn't a matter of physical strength, but a matter of psychological strength. The conquest lay within my own mind to penetrate those barriers of self-imposed limitations and get through to good stuff- the stuff called potential, 90 percent of which we rarely use. ~Sharon Wood, First North American Woman to Climb Mt. Everest

Frequently Asked Questions
WHY IS THERE A FUNDRAISING DEADLINE?
Team In Training is first and foremost a fundraising program. The primary goal is to raise funds for leukemia research. In light of this objective, we take your commitment to raise the fundraising minimum seriously. We want all Team In Training participants to be successful in raising at least the minimum, and we have structured the program to provide as much support as possible. At the final deadline date, two weeks before your event, if you have not reached the fundraising minimum, we will place the remaining amount on your credit card. In the event that your credit card must be charged, you will have an additional month to fundraise (30 days after your event). The Society will reimburse you any additional funds collected up to the amount that you personally contributed. The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society has a national “no deals” policy. The preceding procedures are designed with the intent of maintaining the integrity of the TNT program, and to be true to our mission of finding a cure for leukemia.
