Charity sporting events offer incentives to get fit

Kelly Flynn, running coach for Team In Training, a charity sports endurance program from the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, has been teaching novice runners to tackle the Boson Marathon since 2005. "I saw a flyer (from Team in Training) and went, on a lark," she said. "His death was my catalyst." Team in Training, which is 25 years old, has raised more than $1.4 billion, with more than 600,000 people from across the country taking part in different endurance events to raise money for Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. For Sarah Jane Constantine, a self-described recreational runner, marathon running was a bucket-list dream until she started running for charity.
