  • The Wired Fundraiser
    The Wired Fundraiser How technology is making fundraising “good to go” October 2007 Introduction On January 18, 2007, Robin Maxwell was out for a run when her feet suddenly felt completely numb. It was a strange and unnerving sensation, and she didn’t know what to make of it. She wondered if she’d pushed herself too hard. After all, she was a tri-athlete training for a marathon – and, as mother of two, she was also always busy chasing after her two young children. After her doctor conducted some tests, she soon learned there was a far more serious cause: she had multiple sclerosis (MS), the progressive neurological disease. “I felt this incredible darkness,” she says of her diagnosis. A few days later, a friend of hers was watching The View and saw Kevin Bacon talking about his new charitable effort, SixDegrees.org – a website where anyone could create a widget to fundraise online for their favorite cause. Knowing Robin had said she wanted to do something to help others with her diagnosis, the friend emailed Robin about the website and the matching grants Kevin was offering to top fundraisers’ causes. Robin went online to create a widget to fundraise for her local MS Society the same day. “I raised $800 the first day, and suddenly I realized this was something that could work. I had a reason to get up every day. People wanted to help me, and they wanted to help me get that grant. They wanted to keep me from facing the disability that I am facing,” she says.

  • Greaves Jimmy: Nato Per Segnare
    CONTATTACI STORIE DI CALCIO MONOGRAFIE GLI SPECIALI RASSEGNE DOC FOTO DEL GIORNO VIDEOGALLERY ULTIME STORIE 12 MAGGIO 2017 | GREAVES JIMMY: NATO PER SEGNARE HOME MONOGRAFIE GREAVES Jimmy: nato per segnare Charles Buchan, giornalista del The News Chronicle, era ancora impressionato da ciò che aveva visto al White Heart Lane il 24 agosto 1957 nel corso del match tra Tottenham Hotspurs e Chelsea (1-1). Ciò che lo aveva stupito era un debuttante che i Blues avevano schierato in attacco, “un diciassettenne”, scrisse Buchan, “dotato di tecnica, senso della posizione e personalità da campione consumato, un talento di prim’ordine con le qualità giuste per poter ricalcare le orme di Duncan Edward, il più giovane giocatore inglese ad aver vestito la maglia della nazionale”. Il ragazzo si chiamava Jimmy Greaves, e in quell’incontro segnò la prima di una lunghissima serie di reti realizzate in una carriera da vero e proprio killer dell’area di rigore. Un’attaccante nato e cresciuto per il gol, un rapace degli ultimi metri, uno stile tutto basato sulla rapidità di esecuzione e sull’anticipo, poche giocate spettacolari, niente tocchi di classe alla Bobby Charlton, potenza di tiro modesta, ma sempre al posto giusto nel momento giusto, come confermano i numeri, un metro di paragone con il quale, volenti o nolenti, gli attaccanti devono sempre confrontarsi. Quelli di Greaves parlano di 366 reti in 528 partite con Chelsea, Milan, Tottenham Hotspurs e West Ham, 44 in 57 con la nazionale inglese (solo Bobby Charlton con 49 e Gary Lineker con 48 hanno saputo fare di meglio), 100 gol segnati prima di compiere i 21 anni di età (per la precisione a 20 anni e 290 giorni, il più giovane giocatore di sempre a raggiungere una simile cifra), 41 quelli realizzati in una sola stagione (con il Chelsea nel ’60-61), 220 messi a segno con la maglia del Tottenham (massimo goleador di sempre degli Spurs), sei titoli di capocannoniere vinti.

  • Brian Clough and Peter Taylor
    Made in Derby 2018 Profile Brian Clough and Peter Taylor Brian Clough and Peter Taylor. Two names that will always be associated with Derby County. They met as young players – Brian a centre-forward and Peter a goalkeeper – at Middlesbrough FC, where they played together for six years. With a shared passion for the beautiful game they formed a friendship that would take them to the very top of English and European football. They first joined forces as managers at Hartlepool United but it was at Derby County where the dynamic duo, as they were known, had their first taste of the big time. Many of Derby's greatest names were signed in the Clough-Taylor era: Roy McFarland, John O'Hare, Alan Hinton, John McGovern, Willie Carlin, Dave Mackay, Colin Todd and Archie Gemmill to name a few. The two managers and their magnificent team took the Rams to the very top, winning the Division One Championship in 1972 and reaching the European Cup semi-finals. The pair controversially resigned early in the 1973-74 season and the partnership broke up briefly, only be reunited at Nottingham Forest in 1976 where they won many accolades, including two European Cups. But it was at Derby County where the partnership first flourished and Taylor’s daughter, Wendy Dickinson, in a biography of her father, said: “When dad and Brian arrived at the Baseball Ground in May, 1967 it was as if Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid had ridden into town, all guns blazing.
