This evening we were back to help the Sunflowers organisation, a brilliant charity providing support for people living with cancer in Liverpool. Sophie ran and Pauline cycled to join the rest of the group at Sunflowers, where we enjoyed the unusual luxury of a task indoors in the light and warmth! We split up into two groups, with one group working on cleaning and painting the walls in the toilets, and the other group organising a delivery of T-shirts by size, and sorting and counting change from an overflowing donation bucket. We counted out a grand total of £312.61, with Ellie winning the glory of making the closest guess to the total. After another fun task, two members deserve special shout-outs. A huge well done to Lucien on his fiftieth task, and to Afrah who came to Sunflowers straight from a vigil in memory of victims of abuse on this International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women and Girls.

This week, we were back at St James Garden with Friends of St James' Garden to finish what we started last week.

4 runners met on hope street where we were thrilled to welcome two newbies: Mel and Mel. Hope to have you join us again soon!

As St James garden is so close to our meeting point we treated ourselves to a few hill reps before heading on over. Very impressed with all the runners for persevering!

Once there we met 7 more goodgymmers and were tasked with weeding all the pavements around the Husskinson Memoral. I think you can tell from the before an after pictures what a huge impact we had!

Thankfully the weeds and grass came up surprisingly easily - the turf almost came up like a carpet and we were able to clear a huge area. Well done to everyone!
