Clearing Space, Restoring Peace for Ms R (wk2)
Ms R has been struggling since losing much of her independence due to a terminal cancer diagnosis and the debilitating side effects of treatment.

Before GoodGym I always lost motivation to stick at running or the gym but now I run two or three times a week.
Running with GoodGym is great because I get fit, do good and get to hang with a load of awesome people.
