Toward the end of 2010 I was sure that January 2011 was going to be the release date for the FathersInTouch website. But after a major decision to return back to full time employment and also knowing the site was not where I wanted it to be in the realms of services being offered, I knew there had to be a plan to keep things moving.
I placed an ad on some websites to find a few great coders. The response was overwhelming and I joined forces with a small company that can do almost anything it seems which really helped free my time. The outcome for me is that now I am able to sit back and think to myself "WHAT is it fathers and their children would benefit from on the site?" I am no longer held back by my own personal coding abilities in web design.
In total now I have 4 designers and 3 coders (they even develop software, so you might see an iPhone app in time to come.)
The second portion of this puzzle is that I am taking time to get my health under control. I have type 2 diabetes, high cholestorol and high blood pressure from my inactivity for the last few years, so decided to step it up.
May 1st 2011 the 5 borough bike ride in New York is taking place, so I have purchased a stationary bike and am training to enter the almost 50 mile bike ride. I have decided to choose a charity to help children in some way and ride on behalf of Fathers in Touch (F.I.T.) to raise money for the children.
I will probably place a page on the site so other fathers can join, get the t- shirt and also ride for kids, I need to look into it how to set it up legally etc.
So for now and as the site continues to grow in services and information, please hang in there till we release the site in all its glory maybe May 1st 2011.
Meanwhile if you feel you have any positive input you could offer, please feel free to write me.
