What is the mission of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of Canada?
The Mission of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of Canada (LLSC) is to cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkins disease, and myeloma and improve the quality of life for patients and their families.

How much money do I need to fundraise?
Fundraising targets vary by event based on the overhead costs involved.  These typically include travel, hotel accommodation, training, event weekend activities, and team apparel.  Our goal is to ensure that at least 75% of funds raised through Team In Training will go toward the mission of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of Canada.

  
I am not a competitive athlete, can I still train with Team In Training?

Yes! Absolutely!  In fact, most of our participants are beginners and novice-level runners and walkers.  Many Team In Training participants join the TEAM to get involved in a great cause, stay motivated, and challenge themselves.  You do not need to be competitive or experienced with running or walking to join our TEAM.  If you are motivated to succeed, our coaches, staff, and mentors will get you to the finish line!

I am not sure what sport or event I should choose, can someone help me with that?

Definitely.  Our coaches are not only here to make sure you reach your goals, but also to determine the best point to start from!
