Mug Shots of "Bear"in Gifts
7 GoodGymers made their way to help the York Carers Centre in York.

We were asked to deliver bear hug mugs to carers as part of an online grief and bereavement course they are doing. I collected the mugs and coordinated them getting to 6 more Goodgymers who delivered them to their respective addresses. This was not without its challenges for some of our delivery runners and cyclists. Pete had to go back on a second day as it turned out the recipient had moved and the first house he went to was completely empty. Egg cycled out to a remote village to find that it wasn't possible to get down the private drive to the actual address. Luckily she was able to pass it to someone who could. Emma arrived to find a message about leaving deliveries in a box. Leanne, Michal and David delivered all had straightforward if lengthy deliveries for their mugs, with David running a half marathon to deliver his to a village on one side of York and Michal delivering to a village on the other.
