Whoop! The latest, (and 100th, as you can see) issue of Singletrack magazine clumped onto my doormat yesterday, and of course, it looks well up to the usual high standard.
That is the good news.
The bad news came when I just had my daily look on their web site and saw that Deputy Editor Jenn is stepping down. Reading further I discovered it was because she has stage IV Cancer, and that is so desperately sad. When you find a real corker of a magazine, a mag you enjoy reading and eagerly await every issue of, you also tend to connect with the staff in some small way, you enjoy reading their output and get to see their faces, and so you sort of get to know them, so when something like this happens, you feel the sadness and the tragedy too. Clicking the link and expecting to see Jenn was off to pastures new or something, I was gutted to read the news.
There are details on the web site of how donations are being made to Cancer Research UK and Macmillan Cancer Support from various 100th issue special product sales, and also from new print and digital subscriptions.
Best wishes to Jenn, and all those close to her.
