Andrea Eisenberg realized
as she was running at the
recent Detroit Free Press Marathon that
what she missed most was the cama-
raderie and support from the Team In
Training (TNT) staff she had at her
previous marathon in Vancouver, B.C.
Those interested in having that
same kind of support during their
own race should take note of a free
kickoff party and fundraising open
house at 6 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 12, at
the Holiday Resort Hotel in Southfield.
The host is Team In Training, the
White Plains, N.Y.-based Leukemia &
Lymphoma Society's sports endurance
program. The celebration will mark
the beginning of the 2009 spring sea-
son of TNT and will provide oppor-
tunities for the public to learn more
about upcoming athletic events for
beginning or seasoned walkers, run-
ners and triathletes.
"I was really impressed with training
and coaching Team In Training offered,"
Eisenberg says about experience with
TNT during the Vancouver Marathon
earlier this year. "At the race, everything
was taken care of — meals before the
race, getting to the site and tons of
people cheered for me during the race."
Eisenberg, 45, ran the Vancouver
Marathon in support of three friends
and family members who have blood
cancer. Their struggles kept her deter-
mined while training for the race on
cold Saturday mornings at Kensington
Metro Park near Milford.
"Some days, I didn't want to get up
and do the training," she says. "Then
I thought my honored heroes never
had a break from their cancer or treat-
ments, so why should I."
Eisenberg will start training with
TNT once again as she prepares for the
Flying Pig Marathon in Cincinnati next
May. The Flying Pig Marathon is one of
five events people can learn more about
at the Nov. 12 kickoff meeting.
The kickoff starts with the open
house at 6 p.m. that includes informa-
tion about Team In Training spring
events and how to register for them. A
party follows at 7 p.m. Attendees can
pick up LLS literature, fundraising
supplies and learn more about suc-
cessful fundraising ideas.
During the evening, TNT partici-
pants will meet their mentor, coaches,
Andrea Eisenberg
honored hero and TNT staff. Coaches
will share training information and
participants will have a chance to dis-
cuss any questions or concerns.
Recruitment begins later this month
for spring events, which include walk-
ing or running events such as the
Flying Pig Marathon & Half Marathon;
the Country Music Marathon & Half
Marathon in Nashville; and the BMO
Bank of Montreal Vancouver Marathon
& Half Marathon in Vancouver.
Triathlon events for athletes of all
abilities include the Olympic-distance
St. Anthony's 'Triathlon in St. Petersburg,
Fla., and the half-Ironman Gulf Coast
Triathlon in Panama City Beach, Fla.
Team In Training will hold informa-
tion meetings across Metro Detroit
during the next two weeks where
those interested can learn about and
register for TNT programs. Eisenberg
will be the featured alumni speaker at
the information meeting to be held at
the Jewish Community Center in West
Bloomfield on Nov. 6 at 6:30 p.m. For
information, including signup dates
and locations, call (248) 581-3942 or
visit wwwteamintraining.org/mi.
Since TNT's inception in 1988,
360,000 participants have raised
$850 million to help fund blood
cancer research and provide services
and support to patients and their
families. 1_11
