SESSION ORGANISER

Report written by Rachel White
A group of enthusiastic Kingston GoodGymers visited Growbaby to help organize their donations. Dave sorted a run route out and went off with Rob and Adam for a quick 5km around the block. When they came back they joined the rest of the crew for the real work to begin... Prams, strollers and carrycots were carried upstairs, from the basement, for Tania and Sophie from Growbaby to sort. In the meantime, windows were being washed and the newly found floor was being hoovered. A big pile of broken prams was created, ready to be picked up the next day to take to Villier's tip and the baby items that were in good nick were taken back downstairs and stacked neatly, ready to be picked up by local families in need. Tanya and her team were delighted at the progress.
At the end of the mission, we celebrated Dave's 100th mission (not his 10th! The helium bottle ran out - doh). Tanya had brought some cakes to help motivate us on our task so we tucked in and then ran to the pub for dinner and drinks. A fabulous turnout and a successful mission all round.
