Calling All MOMS in the DC Area!
Looking to get in shape, meet fellow moms in your area, and help fight cancer? Join "MOMS IN TRAINING" to benefit the Leukemia Lymphoma Society. What is Moms In Training? A flexible 8-week work-out program, taking place every Saturday morning @ 9am in Alexandria, Bethesda, Capitol Hill, and Falls Church that will prepare you to walk or run the Capitol Hill Classic 10K (6.2 Miles) on May 18th. Event day participation is not required in order to join. In addition, new moms have the option of working out with your baby and stroller! Have a minute? Find out more straight from our former participants here. Why Join? Because we all know someone touched by cancer & because as moms we can give back and make a difference. Program Dates: March 22nd – May 18th For more information and to register, visit: http://www.teamintraining.org/nca/firsttimehere/mit/ Want to learn more about the program?

I actually don't mind posts like these and actually find them useful! Might be time to think about giving them an Ad forum like u have for nanny Etc |

| I was really interested in this but after a lot of digging around on the website it seems you have to commit to fundraising $500 to participate? That is quite steep! |

An ad forum would defeat the revenue from the ads that are along either side of the pages. There are a ton of charities out there that would post their fundraising gig in the ad forum for free and that wouldn't be fair to companies (for profit business, I know) like Zulily McD, and the like that pay for their posting on DCUM. |

I am participating and am very excited about this program! I loved my Team in Training experiences pre-baby, and this is perfect for me as a new mom to be able to work out with my baby in a stroller and also meet other moms.

As a 4-time alum of Team in Training, I can tell you that it really isn't hard to raise $500! It seems steep but they give you A LOT of support and lots of ideas. I am someone who absolutely HATES asking people for money and I was able to raise almost $15,000 over 4 seasons through emails, letters, Facebook posts and simple fundraisers with teammates.
Give it a try. The organization does there very best to help you reach your goal and the training is top notch!! |

I really dislike LLS/TIT. I hate to say it, but I do.
I've been on the "recipient end" of those letters from friends doing training/fundraising. And then, once you give, LLS just KEEPS COMING BACK for more donations! And TIT is now contacting me to join programs that aren't even that close to me, so I can do my own fundraising. I don't doubt the training, and I don't doubt the charity; but I don't like the perpetual fundraising. |
