All teams are assigned Honorees, local individuals
personally affected by a blood-related cancer, in honor of whom you train
and raise funds. Your Honorees become your inspiration as you work towards
goals that will benefit both of your lives. You will meet your Honorees
and his or her family at team trainings, socials and/or other events throughout
the season. We provide you with a wristband to wear with one of your Honorees'
names on it -- to remind you of the important cause for which you are
training and fundraising.
