Dafodil-ightful way to end the week!
2 GoodGymers made their way to help the Marie Curie in Kingston upon Thames.
- Friday, 15th of March 2019
- Led by Kingston upon Thames runner
On yet another blustery March Friday (oh why is it still so windy?!) two little dutiful daffodils met up at Superdrug to help raise money for Marie Curie.
Thankfully we were able to start off our collection shift inside the store away from the gales, however we realised after a while that Friday afternoons are not the busiest time for Superdrug shoppers, so safely securing our daffodil hats we headed out on to Kingston High Street.
Our street strategy successfully paid off and we were approached by children donating their pocket money, a lady who had been very grateful for the support Marie Curie had given her family, plus lots of other very kind donators.
We were also joined by a local who was very keen to share her “wise” words with us. Unfortunately her opinions on charity didn’t quite align with ours and we were very grateful to be able to head back into Superdrug, to seek shelter from the words rather than the wind this time!
We would encourage everyone to help with collections like this. Our help enables the charities to raise funds and awareness and there are lots of shifts available near you https://t.campaign.mariecurie.org.uk/webApp/mcc_supporterRegistration
