As a single member of Team In Training I know you can help me do incredible things like save the lives of blood cancer patients! As part of a team, you can help us do even more like help advance promising therapies into permanent cures; but that takes time and help, your help!

WELCOME TO OUR TEAMS HOMEPAGE!

Dave Eckberg is a hero to so many people.  He’s a hero to his wife, children, and grandchildren.  He’s a hero to his siblings and nephews and nieces.  He’s a hero to his friends and neighbors.  And he’s a hero to the many patients that he cared for over his 20+ year career as an OB/GYN.  Finally, he’s a hero to so many people involved with Team in Training and the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.  We consider him our Honored Hero, but he humbly declines the title and insists that we – the folks out running the miles and doing the fundraising for folks like him – are the real heroes.  He insists that we instead refer to him as our team mascot, Mascot Dave.

After 15 years of fighting his CLL, Dave has run out of chemotherapy treatment options.  He’s been treated and gone into remission many times over the years, but his disease has always come back.  So now he’s getting a bone marrow/stem cell transplant – a risky and challenging procedure.  In honor of Mascot Dave’s journey, Team Ecks Factor has been formed.  We are a group of friends, family, and TNT teammates (who have become dear friends and family) working together to raise money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society – money that will be used to fund research into new treatments and, hopefully very soon, cures!  When we break the $100,000 mark, we will be able to designate a grant in Mascot’s Dave’s name, and determine what the money will be used for.

Please donate to Team Ecks Factor and help us all get closer to a world without blood cancers!  Go Team!!!

Thank you!
