         Kick-Off Party set for Valley Team In Training Chapter 
  The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society begins training for the eighth annual 
                    Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon in San Diego

PHOENIX, Ariz., Jan. 12, 2005 — Valley area runners and walkers can receive 
expert training for the upcoming Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon in San Diego, 
Calif. and raise money for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society with Team In 
Training (TNT).  The TNT Kick- Off Party is the first step on the road to 
the rock ‘n’ roll finish line in the fight against blood related cancers. 
Runners and walkers of all experience levels are invited to attend the TNT 
informational meetings and Kick-Off Party for the Phoenix area in January.

TNT is the signature fundraising program for The Leukemia & Lymphoma 
Society, providing coaching and training for successfully walking or 
running a marathon.  TNT participants receive a daily fitness program 
prepared by world-class coaches, a support team of walkers and runners and 
expert advice on form and technique, race strategies, strength and 
flexibility, and much more. TNT participants are also guaranteed entry into 
the Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon, while also receiving travel and accommodations 
for the event. 

Most importantly, each Team In Training member is matched with an Honored 
Leukemia Patient, providing added motivation while training, racing, and 
raising funds for research and patient aid programs. 

TNT has raised $100 million (net) for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society 
through its seven-year partnership with Elite Racing’s musical marathons.    

Valley area residents interested in attending an informational meeting or 
Kick-off Party may call 800/568-1372. 

The Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon is set to rock San Diego on June 5, 2005. The 
event will feature live bands along each mile of the course, over 40 local 
high school cheerleading squads on the route, a premier headliner concert 
following the race and a two day Health & Fitness Expo.
