Team in Training
Team In Training (TNT) began in 1988, when Bruce Cleland of Rye, NY formed a team that raised funds and trained to run the New York City Marathon in honor of Cleland's daughter Georgia, a leukemia survivor.
The team of 38 runners raised $322,000 for the Society's Westchester/Hudson Valley Chapter. Because of the pioneering efforts of Cleland and the Westchester/Hudson Valley Chapter, Team In Training was born and has grown into the world's largest endurance sports training program. Cleland was honored by Runner's World magazine in 2004 as one of their "Heroes of Running" for his role in establishing TNT.
Join the more than 30,000 runners, walkers, cyclists and triathletes who will participate in the world's major marathons, triathlons and century rides this year on behalf of the Society. Fill out our online Tell Me More form for more details.
Gerry Turrubiartes Memorial Fund
The Gerry Turrubiartes Memorial Fund was created in memory of Gerry Turrubiartes…a loving husband and proud father, a genuine friend and cycling teammate who died in an accident while doing what he absolutely loved…riding his bike. It was on one of those beautiful, bright September days in 2007 that Gerry, at the age of 42, was struck and killed by a freight train.
A portion of the proceeds from this event will go to the Gerry Turrubiartes Memorial Fund. The fund was created to help defray costs for Gerry’s wife Diane and help contribute to the newly created college fund for his two young children, Jasmine and Benjamin.
This memorial fund will provide assistance to Gerry’s young family. It will also be a constant reminder that although sports like cycling, running, and swimming are passions for many of us, they place a distant second when it comes to the love of our family. It is because of our family that we find the strength we never knew we had, and it is because of our children that we have such strong hopes and dreams for the future. This fund will keep alive those hopes and dreams that Gerry had for his children. |
