19 people ran 6k to help feed the homeless and organise clothing for Birmingham Mission Care Centre

Tonight we welcomed a magnificent five newcomers to GG! The Famous five were Lizzie, Katie, Miriam, Angelina and Adriana. It’s great to have you with us and I hope you enjoyed the evening.

We set off to Brum Mission, on arriving we had the usual warm welcome from John, who was very appreciative of our presence as they had a big attendance tonight, so the extra people serving really helped, basically GG came to the rescue, hence this weeks pun! Half the group did the serving and the other half organised clothing upstairs.

Once done it was time for the usual picture, then on to the ‘hill of dome’! Tonight it was eight minutes of running up hard and jogging back down to recover. Aaron shot to the top, Rebecca showed great form with her arms, Fiaz and Fiona pushed really hard. All the Newbies were excellent, Katie showing some great form, Angelina and Adriana worked really hard and Miriam and Lizzie really put in a great shift aswell. It really was a terrific sight seeing a big group pushing each other along, John and George having a great race in the last few seconds of the session, it really was fantastic! Once done, there was time for another picture (there always is!) then it was a steady run back to 1000 Trades taking in a slightly longer jaunt on the way back.

Next week we will be out doing good again, it would be great if you could join us sign up here.
