Wow. Thanks for posting. No one deserves success in this venture more than Alwyn. He is a survivor and is paying it forward. Keep us posted. I already have my money ready.

Its a great project. I was honored enough to be asked to contribute an article for it. It should be an excellent product. Looking forward to it coming out.

Thanks, Ted! That's an awesome project and it deserves our support. That book will be amazing, no doubt.

Ditto. I was fortunate (and honored) enough to be asked to contribute as well. Should be a HUGE deal. Alwyn is doing a great thing with this project

As a survivor of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma who was given a 40% chance of surviving (and an active supporter of my local Leukemia and Lymphoma Society) I'll be buying this for sure!

Thanks for the heads up.

I think I'm the only non-trainer who contributed an article. Mine's a life-lessons piece about all the things I learned as a waiter that I wouldn't have learned otherwise.

Of course, the most important thing I learned as a waiter is that I didn't like being a waiter, but I figured the article should be about things that aren't quite so obvious.

haha. That I will want to read for sure. I was a lifeguard back in high school/college. I should have written about all those summers where I begged the athletic director of my high school to allow me to transport gym equipment from the high school to the pool house at the pool where I worked.

It finally worked. And for one glorious summer, I had my own version of muscle beach. I would drag out the bench or squat rack during my hour lunch breaks and train right in the road next to the basketball courts.....haha. I ruled!....

I belive that the book has turned into something like a 400-500 page monster! Some great articles in it too.....lots of non-training-style articles which is very cool considering some of the authors.

Speaking of change, from Date Tate...

Quote:
For now spread the word and put a coffee cup on your dresser. Each night when you go to bed toss your change in it and save it for this manual. By the time this rolls out you will have more than all the money you will need to support this GREAT effort.

Money can't be an excuse. It really is as easy as saving your change. With ALL proceeds going to this cause the only reason for you not to help is the same one that has held you back for so long now.

I thought it was up to 700 pages. That number sticks in my mind for some reason.

It was an honor and a pleasure to be able to contribute to this project. All I can say is that there has never been a collection of talent this big for one single project and rightfully so.

This will be, without a doubt, one of the most valuable fitness and motivational books ever put into print. And the fact that all of the proceeds go to such an important cause; well, that's just icing on the cake.

Everyone should buy this book.

Is this works taken up by a mainstream publisher like Rodale or something? If it's on amazon, I'll pick it up with some other shortlists in my cart.

Think so...keeps growing because you guys can't make your point

Printing costs$ are now a factor so the idea of the e-book might be in the works.
