Great work, Patrick, in case anyone missed this in the news a few days ago, I too can contribute. Who else is with me?:
$1,000 bursary to be offered in support of cycling project; sponsor calls for matching donations from companies, individuals
I’m happy to announce that I’ll be offering a small bursary to assist in financing a cycling-related project to be proposed by members of the Canadian cycling community. The modest bursary will begin at $1,000 but is expected to grow to more by the end of the season, and is designed to assist in financing a project or need that is planned for the 2006 season.
My involvement in cycling journalism began almost two decades ago, and I simply can’t quantify the contribution that the sport has made to my life. While I continue to enjoy writing about the sport I would much rather see the proceeds of that work go to help fund a project that otherwise would go without sponsorship.
Those interested in applying for the amount are invited to send a short description of the project or need towards which the bursary funds would be applied. The bursary is open to any project in cycling – men, women or youth, and across all cycling disciplines. Applications can be posted on the Pedal online forum, or e-mailed to me at patrick(a)vdwconsulting.com. If you’d like to contact me directly you can call me at (312) 882-1205.
I’d also like to call on companies and individuals who’ve benefited from cycling to contribute additional funds or services – and depending on the projects that are proposed to me, I may do some reaching out of my own. Most of our elite athletes already receive a level of sponsorship and services that enable them to train and compete effectively, but I’m convinced there are a number of projects out there that could see a tremendous benefit from a small amount of support – amounts that are feasible contributions for myself and others who’ve similarly benefited from cycling. Those interested can contact me at the coordinates listed above.
