On the first day God created the heavens and the earth. On the second day......GoodGym helped with the gardening!
12 GoodGymers made their way 6.0km to help their local community in Hammersmith and Fulham.
- Tuesday, 27th of September 2016
This week 12 of us ran 3kms each way to St Michael's and St George's church in White City to help clear a very overgrown area of the church garden. We didn't need much divine wisdom - we were asked to simply get our biceps to work and clear, clear, clear!
Despite a good few nettle stings we managed to move lot of rubbish and greenery and left a blank canvas for the area which will become a garden for the Sunday School and local children.
Sadly our water hadn't been turned into wine but that undoubtedly led to a rather easier run back to base! Our halos shining (..most likely from our head torches!) we ran the 3kms back to the squash centre and did a quick warm-down before heading home with the quiet satisfaction of a good run and a positive volunteering effort completed...and it's still only Tuesday! Until next week....
