Clare has done their first good deed with GoodGym.
Clare is a now a fully fledged GoodGym runner. They've just run to do good for the first time. They are out there making amazing things happen and getting fit at the same time.

Westminster Report written by Joel Wiles
16 Soggy GoodGymers ran 5k to Rhythams of Life homeless charity to help clean the atrium.
A day that didn't go to plan for the squad or Rhythams of Life either. Following a break in where most of the organisations technology was stolen there was minimal food donations so we were unable to go and hand out the food to the local homeless community.
Slightly lacking the sized task we had hoped to have we made the best of it sweeping, hoovering, tidying and steaming the Atrium with 20 minutes of concentrated effort. We managed to put a smile back on Farais' face after a tough week back in the country following his trip to Kashmir where the organisation started the process of building a school.
Sure next time we visit we will have loads to do and get to deliver food.
With rain still going strong we left to run a longer loop back. Dancing around puddles and weaving through the foot traffic until we got to Green Park where we pushed the pace all the way up the drag with a few strong runners doubling back to increase the distance!
Arriving back to the New Balance store soggy but well worked out we stretched out before heading off to dry out.
See you next week for our visit to St Andrews Youth Centre.
Smooth Running
