Don't be put off sending out a press release, I used JG's sample press release and within an hour I had my local paper on the phone asking when could they send the photograper round - couple of days later I'm in the paper!! http://www.warringtonguardian.co.uk/news/whereilive/ac/burtonwood/4120866.Rob_to_face_a_Pennine_night_ride_for_father/ granted I don't live in the bigest city but newspapers are clamouring for positive stories at the moment!

I have been featured on a local paper, a local internet based news website and a fairly popular Glasgow newspaper! I threw in my justgiving page to the local paper too (hadn't made the page when i was interviewed for the bigger paper!), so that should be published tomorrow! http://www.inverclydenow.com/news-detail2.asp?ID=2796 http://www.eveningtimes.co.uk/news/display.var.2503385.0.0.php    Report
