SESSION ORGANISER
Find out about GoodGym TaskForce
Report written by Joel Wiles
14 sunshine drenched GoodGymers ran 7k to One Big Family homeless charity to prepare the food for the evenings homeless food run.
A glorious sunny evening caught many of us out with our running clothing so very handy to have the New Balance sale in full swing and many of the squad to full advantage!!
Heading out on out sight seeing tour of central London taking in Oxford Street, Mayfair, Green Park, Liz's house, Victoria and finally 3.5k later Ebury Youth Club!
Splitting up into groups we had the strong guns collecting water, while the sweet toothers tested their will power by bagging countless pastry's, doughnuts, apple pies, rhubarb pies, muffins and my favourite Cinnamon (don't) share buns.
While the cake slicers got sensory overload as the chopped up the most amazing smelling cakes in manageable pieces.
Great to see this tiny charity doing so well!! When we fist started visiting them there was minimal food and now the donations are huge allowing them to reach a much greater number of Westminsters homeless community!!
35 minutes of bagging action and we had cake mountains on the table tennis table to go with some pre packaged sandwiches and water.
Great team effort and even finishing in enough time to clean up our work stations!
With a job well done we headed off at a quicker pace flying up to Liz's house at a great pace really working at a speedy rhythm!
After a huge royal flyby with any number of dignitaries driving into the palace delaying our progress we decided to feed our legs some speed!! Hammering up the 600m Green Park drag we everyone feeling the satisfaction of the legendary gate touch!
A short jog back to base and stretch out had us done for the evening!
Thank you all for coming along and home to see you again next week when we visit Oasis Community garden to help keep the fruit, vegetables and herbs going. Sign up and come along!
Have a great week
