One week before surgery in June this year I went to the marketing department at the Victorian Institute of Sport with a proposal. I spoke to them about how I would like to track my journey through surgery and if I was to make it back - after what was to be the fifth major operation - it had the potential to be a powerful story. The conversation evolved into this blog, and also the production of an Unsinkable web video series. This post is about sharing with you the partnership between BikeNow in South Melbourne and the Unsinkable project. BikeNow want to offer all Unsinkable supporters 10% off all products in store and will pass back a small percentage of all these sales back to this project where it will be used to produce the ongoing web video series and ultimately a longer form documentary.
To be involved in this unique project and support me all you need to do is leave a comment with your email address on one of my blog posts at any time between now and the end of April 2014 and I will be happy to forward you a digital voucher entitling you to a discount.
How can you go wrong!? You can support this project by purchasing cycling equipment at a discounted rate. Everyone knows the benefits of cycling on good health, however it is the benefit of cycling that has seen many of Australia's top international athletes excel physically in the rowing boat. By reading my post from 13th October you will have read about the VIS spending three days on a cycling camp riding over 400 km: this shows that the VIS places high importance on the benefit of cycling to its elite international rowers. If you want to see how much importance I place on cycling simply check out my Strava page or look at this graph showing all 76 of my 30min efforts I have completed on the wattbike in the last three months.
I encourage as many of you as possible to not only take this opportunity, but to also share this with your friends and colleagues to ensure that as many of you as possible are able to share in this opportunity, utilise the friendly and supportive staff at BikeNow and help Unsinkable reach its full potential as a digital media project!
Many thanks. John
