Shape Up RI

Shape Up RI produces statewide community and workplace wellness programs. Founded by Brown Medical School student Rajiv Kumar, it was created with the belief that the solution to healthy living lies in the power of teamwork and peer support. Our health campaigns encourage Rhode Islanders to pursue healthy lifestyles through increased physical activity and better nutrition. Participants compete on teams and track their weight, exercise, pedometer steps and nutrition in challenges throughout the year. Over the past five years, over 40,000 Rhode Islanders have participated in this successful program, losing thousands of pounds, walking millions of miles, and proving that teamwork is a powerful prescription for taking control of our health.

Team in Training

Since its inception in 1988, when a team of 38 runners trained together for the New York City Marathon and raised $320,000, The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s Team In Training® program (TNT), has prepared more than 390,000 people — approximately 40,000 participants annually — to achieve their dream of completing a marathon, half marathon, triathlon, 100-mile (century) bicycle ride or hike adventure. And, in that time, TNT participants have raised over $950 million to support blood cancer research and patient services. The enormous success of this program has helped make possible advances in blood cancer therapies and treatments that have prolonged and enhanced the lives of hundreds of thousands of patients.
