TEAM LRF AND FUNDRAISE YOUR WAY PROGRAMS

Thousands of people across the country turn their talents and interests into unique fundraising events to support the Lymphoma Research Foundation (LRF) mission. Whether they attended a Lymphoma Walk, participated in a marathon or road race, or created a new event, LRF’s partners, generous donors, and volunteers helped to make 2022 a successful year for Team LRF!

TD Five Boro Bike Tour

On May 1, during this year’s TD Five Boro Bike Tour, 32,000 cyclists took to the streets of New York City—including members of Team LRF! This annual event, America’s largest bike ride, offers riders the chance to enjoy 40 miles of car-free streets through all five of New York’s boroughs. For this year’s ride, LRF teammates raised thousands of dollars. Congratulations to our top Team LRF rider, Matt Silbermann!

LRF Lymphoma Walks

Over 1,000 participants and volunteers gathered in Minnesota, Chicago, Dallas, and Phoenix in 2022 to raise over a half million dollars at local Lymphoma Walks. Speakers and LRF grantees, including Dr. Kathleen Dixon from the University of Minnesota, Dr. Adam DuVall from The University of Chicago, and Dr. Adam Lin from Northwestern University, cheered on and encouraged participants, highlighting the importance of lymphoma research and the impact their fundraising has on the critical research powered by LRF.

Fundraise Your Way: LRF Team Tri

After losing his mother to lymphoma, Dan Anderson gathered seven friends to create LRF Team Tri as a way of honoring his mother’s memory and spreading awareness for the need for lymphoma research funding. The group, based out of Gainesville, Florida, planned to participate in triathlons across the country in 2022, with the ultimate goal of qualifying for the 2022 Ironman World Championship in Hawaii while also raising $50,000 for LRF. Dan qualified for the World Championship during the first qualifying race of the season, Ironman Florida!

Medtronic Twin Cities Marathon

Members of the LRF community were among the 26,000 runners who participated in the 40th anniversary Medtronic Twin Cities Marathon on October 2. Seven runners representing Team LRF raised more than $7,500, including Georgia, who completed her first 10-mile race to honor her father; and Emily, who ran the full marathon in honor of her grandfather.
