Sportswear giants get behind challenge

MY challenge was handed the perfect boost this week after retail giants JJB Sports came on board to provide me with specialist equipment for each of my challenges over the next year.
I couldn't have asked for a better sponsor as the store carries equipment that will be suitable for all but one of my eight sports events.
I popped into JJB's flagship Liverpool store in Williamson Square at the weekend and collected a new pair of running trainers, after a thorough assessment, and a load of climalite adidas running gear to help with my training and first event in two weeks time.
And the store also released an official comment this week, which read: “JJB Sports would like to wish Nick all the best for his brave 'Great 08 Challenge' and are happy to be supporting him on his way to achieving every success in each of his challenges.”
With all the variety of equipment available in the city centre store alone, I cant wait to get back in there now and pick up more stuff.
And the great thing about JJB is that all the staff have excellent product knowledge and they were able, in this instance at the weekend, to recommend a certain style of running shoe for a flat-footed 'athlete' like me.
