AJ attended at the famous Red Red Rocks Amphitheater in Colorado to volunteer at a 5k on behalf of the American Lung 🫁 Association. It was a pre-dawn and rather chilly start at the registration / bib pick up desk but once the sun appeared things warmed up quickly. The event was very well organised and had about 1500 participants.

all things to sort through, with lovely supervisor Adam.

Sadly GG regular AJ had to depart these shores for a little while, but it didn't take her long before she found a project to help out with:

We Don't Waste

We Don’t Waste works to reduce hunger and food waste in the Denver area by recovering quality, unused food from the food industry and delivering it to nonprofit partners, such as food pantries, soup kitchens, shelters, schools and daycare programs, and more.

Sharing the Goodgym love across the pond, AJ dove right in to help out with this great organisation.

5 GGR foodbank regulars turned up today to pick and pack for Frenford Foosbank.

Ed and Linda started setting everything up soon joined by AJ who was keen to start her last shift with GGUK before moving to the USA. AJ has been a keen supporter of GG food banks across the boroughs and has already scoped out food banks stateside so she can help out across the pond. 🙌🏻

Massive kudos goes out to Peter and Kathryn who gave up days off work to come help out, especially as Kathryn was under par due to dental work and also roped in her Mum to help. 🤩

Along with other volunteers we soon got 47 packages picked and packed ready to go just taking a small break to snack on Victor the Vegan Caterpillar (made from fruit as we've had too much left over cake lately) to help celebrate Peters belated 50th Birthday and AJ's forthcoming adventures 🤗
