I am starting to get really frustrated as I have for years wanted to raise money for TNT and it seems like getting registered to be a participant isn't so easy.

I have contacted both the local Chapter and the National Chapter. The local Chapter is about 5 hours away, not very practical for me to attend a meeting mid week. I have sent email messages to both chapters to get information on registering. What I get back is a link to the website. I wouldn't normally say I am an easily confused person, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to sign up as a participant on the website. Is there some "secret" as to keep people that aren't serious from signing up? anyone want to clue me in on what I am doing wrong?

I don't mean to complain, it;s just that my mom died of lymphoma 16 years ago this month, and I have wanted to run for TNT for about 8 years now. Finally I am in a place where I have time and energy for training and raising money. I am already running 13 to 17 miles on the weekend and would like to do a marathon. I've got friends that would happily donate and I would like to raise money for team in training, however, it is starting to be really really frustrating. any advice? It's also frustrating because this board is not easy to use and doesn't appear to have much TNT train use. Just frustrated. Sorry for the rant.
