Since I came up with the 365challenge concept - and the Cancer Research UK Press Office started promoting it for me - there has been some good interest locally in what I'm up to, and even the BBC sat up and took notice.

If any one out there would like to run a piece on the 365challenge, do please get in touch by emailing: colin@365challenge.co.uk.

Press

The original Press Release, announcing the launch of 365challenge on September 1st 2008 can be found at the bottom of this page as an attachment - just click through to read it.

And here are links to some of the press that has run to date:

• Click here to go to the story on the Chester Chronicle website.
  

• The 365challenge launch made the front page of the Chester Midweek Chronicle - click on the attachment on the bottom of this page to see me in action!

• Chester Living Magazine has run a piece too. Click here: Chester Living, to see the magazine on-line - the article should be in the October Flintshire issue (and hopefully the November Chester issue!) - or just click on the Living magazine attachment on the bottom of the page to read the article.
  

• Most unusual of all, the Chester and North Wales Yellow Pages has run a piece on me and the 365challenge in the front of the 2008/09 Directory (page 4!), in the section of the directory where they promote local issues. I'm afraid I can't upload anything on this, but it's great that t he 365challenge has found a publication that will be around for the duration of the challenge itself!

On the Web

 ***Breaking News on the 365challenge*** Justgiving.com -  the site that has supported over 1 Million fund-raising pages for charity - have been so taken with the 365challenge that they interviewed me all about it and have posted the interview on their blog.

365challenge on the BBC!

• BBC Radio Merseyside did a piece on the 365challenge recently. Unfortunately, at the moment, there seems to be a problem uploading this to the site, but if you'd like to hear it, email me (colin@365challenge.co.uk), putting the phrase "BBC interview" in the subject line and I'll email the file to you!

• I was also interviewed on Chester Dee 106.3, our local station, about the 365challenge, and they ran the piece every hour in their news bulletin the morning before the launch.
