Chair We Go on a Uni-chair-ian Mission #GG10
19 GoodGymers made their way 6.5km to help the Liverpool Unitarian Church in Liverpool.

Nineteen good eggs, celebrated 10 years of GoodGym with a proper run and a lifting and shifting task.
This week we are celebrating GoodGym's 10th birthday nationally and proudly waved out flag around the city. Our route to Liverpool Unitarian Church didn't take us past the biggest landmarks but we did still manage a few decent shots, we hope you'll agree.
The run to Unitarian Church was nice and straight forward and everyone did well to keep pace with few traffic light breaks. We were welcomed by Viki and soon put to work lifting chairs and boxes from the second floor room down to the bin or the basement. Once we'd lifted and shifted, clocking up those steps, 3 or 4 times each, the room had been transformed and can now be put to better use.
With a couple of minutes to spare, the Reverend treated us to a quick tour of the church and a chat about the admirable legacy of the Unitarian congregation in Liverpool (and beyond). What a stunning building!
A huge shout out to Eimear who joins the black t-shirt crew, clocking a massive 50 good deeds with this task - well deserved and well done!
Also a shout out to newbie Sharon who easily kept pace and got stuck in at the task - we'd love you to run with us again soon.
Never one to enjoy doubling back, I led the group on a slightly longer but more scenic route back via Princes Park with the sun setting in purple and red ahead of us. A gorgeous end to a gorgeous evening. Happy Birthday GoodGym, you beaut!
The celebrations continue with #GGSuperSaturday and our birthday social this weekend. Find out more and sign-up!
P.S. The title pun is a combination of chair-mendous efforts by Christina and Jo :)
