BENEFICIARIES
This year, we are pleased to donate all proceeds to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and The Prostate Cancer Foundation.

Team in Training/The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society


The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) is the world's largest voluntary health organization dedicated to funding blood cancer research, education and patient services. LLS's mission: Cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease and myeloma, and improve the quality of life of patients and their families. Since the first funding in 1954, LLS has awarded more than $680 million in research funding.

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 LLS'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.

Team Winter/The Prostate Cancer Foundation


Winter Vinecki founded Team Winter two years ago when she was nine years old. Since founding Team Winter, she has helped raise over $150,000 for the Prostate Cancer Foundation's research programs. Her goal for 2010 is to raise over $200,000, enough to fund a Young Investigator Award for 3 years. The Young Investigator Award is a program created by the Prostate Cancer Foundation in 2008. They are recruiting the brightest young medical researchers, believing that the youth of the World will put an end to suffering and death from prostate cancer.

Winter lost her dad to prostate cancer last year. He was 40 years old. After this tragedy, Winter wants to prevent as many families as possible from going through that experience. She appreciates those who have chosen to fundraise and race for Team Winter. Equally important are those who make a simple donation. Winter is here to tell you, from experience, that even the smallest donations can still add up quickly to $200,000.
