19 Goodgymers ran 4km to help Single Homeless Project shift some woodchip!
Welcome along to the newbies - Holly, Rachel and Zhichu thanks for coming along guys.
In the news this week:
- Well done to Graham and Patrick for organising GoodGym takeover at Finsbury Park Parkrun on Saturday - see Graham's report here.
- There is a wonderful GG Long Run this Sunday led by Simon Fitzmaurice - more details here.
- There should be a GG Monthly Social next Thursday, more details to come from Pritesh.
After warming up we headed North by North-West, through the back streets and over Holloway Road to the Single Homeless Project on Mercer Road. This fantastic charity help provide accommodation and support homeless people in our community.
We met Regina and she told us that the woodchip to be moved comes from woodcutters who donate it to the charity - awesome! Our task was to shovel, carry and empty around a ton of woodchip from the front garden to the back.
Helping the homeless
We got going getting four people shovelling, another three people holding bags and Meg, Faye and Patrick with their headtorches emptying out the woodchip in the back garden. Everyone else was positioned in a human train through the house - nice!
After 15 minutes we were done, very quick! There was a lot less woodchip than normal and everyone was efficient in this warm February weather.
Once we were finished we took a group picture and headed back to the Emirates where everyone smashed a time trial - well done all :)
