John James has done their first good deed with GoodGym.
John 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.

24 fit and fabulous runners headed off to the Children's Scrapstore yesterday evening.
A chill wind was a little off putting but once moving, we got lovely and warm. We made good time to the Scrapstore and got divvied up in to several teams.
Team 1: Notice board sorters. Their mission was to remove all out of date notices.
Team 2: Stirers. Their misson was to open old tins of paint and give them a good stir. It was amazing how the paint changed colour!
Team 3: Fluff makers. They were given some Stanley knives and cut the ends of reels of thread from spindles, creating a large amount of fluff in the process!
Team 4: Net cutters. At first just 2 people but then their numbers were bolstered by newbies Leanne and Pramimder (welcome to the gang ladies!).
Team 5: Fabric slicers. A huge amount of Fireman Sam print fabric needed chopping, then a rather fetching scarlet cloth.
Last but not least, Team 6 were once again on phone sorting duty. Every single time we have been to the Scrapstore, there are phones to unbox andsplit in to components. One day we will reach the end... One day.
Then we headed back really fast, and had a great stretch back at Vivo. Top work team!
