efore launching this campaign, Jack and Bill had noticed a huge amount of interest in what they are doing. This alone has inspired new and old friends to make positive changes towards living a Fun, Fit and Healthy lifestyle. They are constantly adding tasks to their mission to make this campaign as successful as possible. In Australia, they will be talking to students at Southport State High School on the importance of healthy living. Setting good habits at an early age is key, and maintaining those habits throughout adult life is just as Important. And, they are always up for ideas and suggestions from others on how they can spread their message further. (Follow us here on Facebook)
ABOUT US
For most of his life, Bill Panter has been involved in athletics. Whether it was a swimming event in high school, playing rugby at a premier level, or competing to a national level in gymnastics and pole vault. Bill has always maintained a ‘give it a go’ attitude. It has been this attitude as well as a series of choices and planning that has allowed Bill to team up with Jack Nunn, his close friend, training partner and coach.
Jack Nunn is a rower and triathlete. It’s both his passion and profession, and he hopes to inspire more people to take part in fitness and live an active and healthy lifestyle. The Southern California native and founder of Roworx, an indoor rowing fitness studio in Long Beach, California, was a member of the rowing team at UC Berkeley. There, he studied to be a sports writer, and won four Pac-10 championships and three IRA (International Rowing Association) National Championships. He was a member of the US National Rowing Team from 2001 to 2004. Jack never expected to turn rowing or triathlons into his full-time profession, and he feels grateful for how the sport has shaped his life as well as others around him. He’s competed in five Ironman’s including Nice, France, Cozumel, Mexico, Florianopolis, Brazil and won his age group in numerous half marathons and races.
Jack teaches about 15 classes each week (mostly indoor rowing) at the Boathouse overlooking Marine Stadium (the rowing venue for the 1932 Olympics) in Long Beach, California. He’s also an active rower and triathlon competitor at events around the world. Rowing has given Jack an identity as a rower and triathlete over the past 20 years, and he has always had the desire to 
give something back and give others the benefit of his experience.

WHO INSPIRED US
Jack and Bill have both been very fortunate to have had great families, friends and huge support network throughout their lives. One of their biggest backers and inspirations has been their fathers. Although Jack and Bill have obtained a very high level in their chosen sports, they have lived somewhat in the shadows of their fathers.
Jack’s father, John, has a long history of rowing accolades, including winning a Bronze medal in double sculls in the 1968 Olympics in Mexico City, and coaching the US Rowing Team in the 1976 Olympics in Montreal. In 1972, John’s Olympic rowing career was cut short when his employer told him that if he took more time off to train and compete in the Munich games, that he would no longer be employed at the company. (At the time, John and his wife had three young daughters at home under the age of 5. He didn’t feel like he could leave not knowing if he would still have a job to support his family when he returned).
Bill’s father, B
ob, was one of Australia’s top road cyclists and competed professionally from 1965 -1970. His cycling career ended abruptly when he was struck down by a car during a training session, causing him to be in a coma for three days and blind for a week. Although Bob made an almost full recovery, he was never able to ride professionally again. Bob coached and mentored many athletes including Robbie McEwen, a Tour de France Green Jersey winner.
(Above) On the final day of the nine-day Sun Tour of Victoria in 1967, Bob Panters’ bike broke in half a few yards from the finish. Despite this, Bob still managed to come 3rd in the tour.
