Team in Training now on wheels

Team in Training, a part of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, has been training fundraising volunteers in Peachtree City to do endurance events for about two years, helping people cross the finish lines of marathons, half marathons, and triathlons. Now the group is moving into the arena of bicycling events.

In the past, volunteers, who are responsible for raising as much as $4,200 each per season, had to travel all the way into Atlanta for their training. Now a coach is available based in Peachtree City, and team members are dedicated to training in Fairburn, Peachtree City, and Fayetteville. This is a great program with many active participants in the area, and recruitment for the fall season has just begun. In addition to many run/walk events, two triathlons and two cycling events are being offered.

The group's next informational meeting is May 2 at the Peachtree City Library at 6:30 p.m. For more information, call 770-438-6006 ext. 258.
