Good Luck Heather – we’ll be tuning in.
Don’t be nervous Heather – you’ll be fine.
Your friends in rowing.
Hey heather – don’t forget to mention me!!!
Trying to find a radio here in work… best of luck H.
Sorted – have radio, tuned in, can’t wait.
Go on Heather.
Well done Heather – really well spoken – you sounded very clear. Pity there wasn’t more time – so much to say on such a broad subject. The short interview touched on funding; sponsorship; why aren’t there more women doing sport?; media coverage;
pay for professional sports’ women..holy moly sure you could have spent the day talking about it.
I sent them a text message asking if they were going to do more on this topic – hope they will.

And sorry… I forgot to thank you all
… so little time to say all I wanted to say – but I tried to hammer the main points out – about funding, structures, the women to be aware of opportunities, believe in themselves, men to believe in the women … I could talk all day.. Next time…
