Watching the “London Marathon” today reminded me how important finding “Sponsors” for “Disabled/Physically Challenged Athletes” really is!
These amazing athletes in their “Chariots” may only be limited by the Organisers and Media as I am sure that there are many more who would line up if allowed. Compliments to those allowed to race, you justified your presence and many more of you should be allowed to take part. Watching German Eurosport I was unable to get the full benefit of the report of those participating as my language skills are somewhat lacking but there was no doubting the efforts expended by those allowed to compete!
In the past weeks I have posted remarks since withdrawn about the lack of support for this blog, fact is there appears to be no support for my efforts to create an opportunity for “Disabled/P.C. Athletes” to be at the “Tour de France” even though I continually come across those who voice a desire to be there, being “nice” to me is not helping the cause.
Followers and Comments are the only thing that “Sponsors” are interested in and the opportunity to help this year has passed! Next year there may be someone “game “ to try and help create an opportunity but that will depend on the efforts of you the readers. Simply put “Vote with your finger” by joining the “Followers” and adding your “Comments”, when I see a reader from “Cabot, Arkansas” continually coming to the “Blog” from “Bookmark” it makes me wonder why they don’t show that they want to help by becoming a “Follower”?
There are others out there also visiting regularly by “Bookmark/Favourities” who could also lend their weight to the body of opinion needed to convince “Sponsors” of the value in helping this project and others connected with “Disabled/Physically Challenged Athletes”!
20 followers will ignite a renewed interest in adding to the blog and as the “Tour de Romandie”, “Giro d’Italia” and “Tour de France” are about to occur once again I will have plenty of material to pass on to those interested enough to become “Followers”! Your choice each of you know “Disabled people” and maybe they will enjoy being directed to supporting “Athletes” of their community group.
AS SAID BEFORE I NEED ENCOURAGEMENT, and you the readers will benefit if you choose to support this activity.
Ciao
P.S. Noticed that there are a lot of "Hits" but few "Visits" since the posting, would like to know what the difference is and wish those "Hits" had Used "Followers Button " to register their interest!
Hi mate,
ReplyDeletejust wanted to say that I am here as a follower for the long haul - I fully support what you are trying to achieve, I'm a huge believer in the power of sport, and I think the incredible athletes that compete in disabled / physically challenged sport deserve so much more recognition - as a first commitment I will be writing a piece about your blog in the next few days, and I promise to continue to return to the subject as hopefully my own following grows - you have my word on that!
