Team of Strength
Join our team as a runner 
“I run every day to clear my head.” - ASTT Client
The Team of Strength was started by four survivors who ran the Baltimore Marathon Relay in October 2010. The experience was so empowering and inspiring that ASTT staff and clients worked together to find a way for clients to continue running and to invite others to join the team. You can become a part of the Team of Strength at the SunTrust National Marathon in Washington, DC and at the Baltimore Running Festival. The Team of Strength continues to grow, touching the lives of more people each time they run.
National Rock'n'Roll Marathon - Washington DC - March 17, 2012
The National Marathon is SOLD OUT! But you can still run by joining the Team of Strength. You can participate in the marathon, half-marathon, or a two person relay. Contact us today!
In March 2011 we had more than twenty runners join us in the National Marathon. The runners raised more than $8,000 for the ASTT Client Fund! Now we are encouraging other survivors and supporters to join our Team of Strength and have a goal of at least doubling our participation - we need forty runners and we can easily meet our financial goal with your help. Run with us at a marathon or half-marathon; together we build a stronger Team! For more information about ASTT, please feel free to explore our full website.
Each team member is asked to raise $500 - it is easy and fun and you have our help.
Team members will receive:
• free race registration ($110 value for the half-marathon/$125 value for the marathon)
• fundraising support from professional staff,
• a Team of Strength t-shirt,
For more information or to register call Lindsey at 410-464-9006 or Atsede at 202-290-1672. Space is limited and we must have your registration by January 25, 2012.

Join our team as a volunteer
Not ready to run? We still need your help. You can help the Team of Strength in two ways:
1. Help fundraise for the Team of Strength Survivors. Several survivors will be running in the marathon and have a fundraising page on Firstgiving. Spread the word about the Team and post the Firstgiving page to your Facebook or Twitter account. Visit the Team of Strength Firstgiving Page.
2. Help out on race day. We will need volunteers to help coordinate the runners and be on the race course to cheer them on! If you can volunteer on race day please contact Lindsey at 410-464-9006.
Put the Baltimore Running Festival on your calendars for October 2012.
We are already getting ready and if you plan to participate, let us know.
