LLS is proud to announce that their Team In Training program has been voted Best Charity Training Program in the 2011 BEST of Competitor poll. The winners were selected by votes that came into the Competitor magazine. Team In Training is the endurance sports training program that is part of LLS. LLS, where Corey Ribotsky and so many others donate, offers this as a wonderful way to raise money for cancer research.
TNT started in 1988 and has trained more than half a million participants. They’ve raised more than $1.2 billion to support LLS.
As Nancy L. Klein, the Chief Marketing and Revenue Office of LLS said, “Competitor Magazine is a leading voice in endurance sports, and its readers have their fingers on the pulse of what programs and services provide the highest caliber of training and the best overall experience for participants, so LLS is truly honored that they voted us their favorite program.”

It’s hard to find a better way to support a charity than to do so while you benefit as well. Now, the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, where Corey Ribotsky is a donor, has found a way to do just that. They have recently partnered with renowned apparel and gear company Lands’ End to make your holiday season sweeter – while also making those in needs have a sweeter experience.
Here’s how. When you shop at LLS’s e-store, 20% of your purchase price will be donated back to LLS. The e-store offers the best of Lands’ End clothing and the prices are exactly the same as those you would find at the regular Land’s End store. The only difference is that when you buy the shirt or camping gear through the LLS e-store, you are helping to fight blood cancers with every purchase that you make.
This is truly a way to enjoy the holiday season for yourself, your family and friends, and for those in need of extra assistance in fighting cancers.

When it comes to important volunteer work, the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS) in which Corey Ribotsky is involved, could not be a more worthy cause. Currently, one of the programs it is undertaking is through the Team in Training in which participants (usually LLS volunteers like Ribotsky) just try to raise as much money as possible in an effort to make a real “difference for cancer patients and their families.” To date, it is the LLS’s Team in Training (TNT) that has successfully: “trained nearly half a million runners, walkers, triathletes, cyclists and hikers; raised over $1bn to fund lifesaving cancer research.”
Currently there are two training options (that endure for around 4 or 5 months): a) the in-person program taken from the organization’s certified coaches network; or doing this virtually – through an online coach. There are over two hundred endurance events from which to choose. For more information, visit: http://www.teamintraining.org/firsttimehere/tellmemore/

There are so many opportunities for volunteers (like Corey Ribotsky) at the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS) today. There is – unfortunately – much work to be done for this important cause. The organization works tirelessly to help those suffering from this disease, with a special emphasis on helping these individuals cope with the extra burden of mounting financial stresses.
One of these programs is the LLS Patient Financial Aid Program which provides financial assistance (albeit in a limited way) to assist patients in financial need who are being cared for by a doctor who can issue them a blood cancer diagnosis. Currently $100 annually is given to patients for these expenses. American residents or military personnel abroad are also able to benefit from this program.
In addition, there is the LLS Co-Pay Assistance Program which provides monetary aid toward the cost of insurance co-payments and/or insurance premium costs for prescription drugs. This financial aid is at least something for those suffering from leukemia and lymphoma. But obviously, the more donations given to the LLS, and the more volunteers dedicated to the cause, the more help these patients will be able to receive so becoming active in this organization is a great way of giving back.
