Anniversary Issue
May 15, 2007
LOOKING BACK…. This issue marks the first anniversary of Natural Champion magazine. What started as a proverbial ‘labor of love’ that – quite candidly – we weren’t sure would make it past one issue has grown from an embryonic beginning of less than ten pages to what we’re told is the largest magazine devoted to drug free fitness and athletics on the entire internet. On the cover of the May, 2006 issue we stated the following: “We want to welcome you to the Premier Issue of Natural Champion, the online magazine devoted to developing drug free champions. Our mission at Natural Champion is to promote physical excellence without the use of harmful and illegal performance enhancing drugs. Each month we’ll provide information – and hopefully, inspiration, to help you develop the very highest standards of peak physical performance and vibrant, life-long health.” And at the bottom of the page we signed off with…”We invite you to join us on our journey.” In ways it’s hard to believe that a whole year has passed since we fired up the computer and saw the that first cover with the Natural Champion logo and the words “The Natural Champion…Premier Issue” set in red against a black background, with a photo of Charles Hawkins, drug free Mr. Universe, punctuating the page. The journey has been by turns trying and exhilarating, far more work than we anticipated and far more rewarding than we ever imagined. Along the way we have made some wonderful new friends and re-connected with some wonderful ‘old’ friends. We are grateful to have made it this far, and grateful to you, our loyal readers, for joining us on the journey. Because Natural Champion magazine is still relatively new to the internet and because a lot of our readers are still new to Natural Champion and have not read the earlier issues, we’d like to look back over the past year and review some of the columns and the personalities that inspired us and instructed us. We invite you to read anew or re-read and to contact us and let us know what you think about past articles and columns and what you’d like to see in future issues. And now for the year in review… www.naturalchampion.net
