Has anyone else just got an e-mail from Matt from HealthUnlocked implying they will send you a free t-shirt?

Is anyone else unreasonable excited by said news?

Just when I thought HealthUnlocked couldn't get any better :o

Same Oldgirl, but if you fill in the form it asks you for your t-shirt preference and size.

It's either a free t-shirt or Matt being very forward :D

I have just received the same email so it is going out to a good few of us.

Apparently Matt works for this website. i got an e-mail earlier in the week asking me to fill in a survey about C25K, and then another today saying they'd like to send some 'goodies'.

The original e-mail came on Monday followed by this today, very mysterious.

I sincerely hope Matt has picked an apropriate fabric to wick away the sweat :)

Ooh! Look at you getting all choosy ;) I'll get what I'm given :D

You are right though, if it's not suitable for running it may be regulated to the pajama pile...

I filled it in and sent it back. We got a reply on the basis that we volunteered to disseminate information, so the tee shirt will be a thank you. I hope it's purple! LOL

I would imagine green to reflect the site colours - though purple would match my running kit

emkeenanGraduate in reply to spoonierunning

I'm quite a fan of this new minty green, it would look wonderful with my auburn (ginger!) locks :D

I hear *SOMEONE* has been lobbying for yellow Misswobble. We'll see :D

I look sick in yellow and would be even worse with my very red running rosy cheeks (facial cheeks that is) ;)

Sorry Oldgirl, you're going to have to fight it out with a certain Miles_Yonder :D

:D

Yes I got one too, and I would like purple too Misswobble! My fave colour! Whatever it is, I'm sure it will be good!

Please let it be one of these...

I got email & responded. Be good to see what we get. Wonder if Danzargo has got anywhere with his poster proposal and had any responses since his hols.

Oooo how exciting! I've just found my email! Can't wait to see what the goodies are :)

spoonierunning profile image

Yes but there was no real indication about the sizes. So on the one hand I am looking forwards to potential tshirt goodness on the other hand it might only fit over my left boob then I will be sad and disapointed.

Before you all get too excited, the email is from Matt, who works for Health Unlocked, not just the HU C25k site.

emkeenan profile image
emkeenanGraduate in reply to IannodaTruffe

Very true, probably nothing specifically for us C25Kers. Although this is undoubtedly the best forum on health unlocked :)

Oh boo! Did you check your junk e-mail from Monday?

emkeenan profile image
emkeenanGraduate

Hmm, well KittyKat, this is a copy of my original e-mail. If you follow the link below I reckon you should be able to fill in the survey and in turn get the e-mail about goodies :) I don't want you being left out...

"Dear emkeenan,

I’m writing to thank you for what you have achieved up to now as an early member of HealthUnlocked. You’ve done something amazing. You started a movement.

Almost 3 million people will visit HealthUnlocked this July and the movement you started is transforming lives. 9 out of 10 people we recently surveyed said HU has been life-changing or useful to them.

What now? With a brand new platform we want to launch this movement more publicly. We’re still a well-kept secret. Many of you have asked us “Why aren’t you spreading the message of HealthUnlocked”, “Why doesn’t my doctor know about it?”

And that’s why I’m writing. I’m calling on you, a founding member of HealthUnlocked, to help us launch the platform to the world on 23rd July.

Just fill out this 2 minute survey about what you can do to spread the word

healthunlocked.com/launch2014

We’ll make a launch plan based on your responses.

Matt Jameson Evans

Co-founder HealthUnlocked"

I too have filled the form in. I'm looking forward to these goodies! I hope it's something cool we can sport while running. I have started putting my C25K Graduate badge on my running top, which I suppose is a start!

I hope we don't get a runsie!!!!! Good grief. Not very handy if you need to go to the lav in a hurry.

I got the email too but was a bit unsure about what they would want me to do in return for the t shirt!! Anyway as you've all been brave enough to fill in your details, I've done it too! I'm voting for green

I had the emails and responded. T-Shirt and goodies! Too much to hope for a crate of beer?

Filled the form too. Purple t shirt hopefully. Glad so many others have same form!

Yes I am quite excited, although when I rule the world meaningless terms for sizes like Small, Medium and Large will be banned. I will be the one hoping for cotton!

I am more than happy to promote HU and C25K provided I can stay anonymous.

I've already had the goodies and they're good! I got a HU t-shirt, mug, pen and notepad.

He's just sent me another email re the goodies and this one said there were ladies' t-shirts. I do hope so as the one I have is a men's style, not very 'me' so I'd probably only sleep in it.

Ohh I didn't get any email... So I assume no goodies for me :(
