Mission

Let us mow! Let us mow! Let us mow!

2 GoodGymers made their way to help an isolated older person in Bristol.

With Mr J unable to mow the lawn in his old age and their son away, the lawn of Mr and Mrs J had fallen into an overgrown state in the rain.

Eager to help, GoodGym runners Elinor and Alex turned up to tend the lawn. Equipped with a mower and shears, they made quick work of the grass of the back garden, even with the brief surprise of snowfall!

But of course, that wasn't enough for our eager runners! Once finished with the mower round back, Alex used the shears to get at hard-to-reach spots while Elinor tended to the front lawn. Tea and biscuits were kindly offered and consumed over the course of our work.

Back and front lawns fully tended to, Mrs J thanked us for our help and we departed.
