Aimee's TNT Training

my honoree

Each Team member runs in honor of a Patient Honoree, usually a family member or a local patient seeking treatment. This year, I am running in honor of my Aunt Joanne. Joanne is a survivor of hairy cell leukemia, a rare form of the disease. She was diagnosed and treated in 1999, and thanks to the research and advancements in the field, her treatment has resulted in a long-lasting remission.

Thanks to fundraising efforts such as Team In Training, the overall survival rate from blood related cancers has tripled over the last ten years. Tripled, people!
