In a mere 11 months since her DBS check, Liz has done an amazing 100 missions! Yes, that is triple figures within a year, no doubt a Goodgym record which will prove very hard to beat. Even though it might not be an official Goodgym milestone (yet?), do give her a cheer!!

Liz has made such a difference to so many people's lives, both at missions for residents all over London as to fellow Goodgym members on missions/group runs/races/socials, that a little token of our appreciation was the least we could do, so after she had hinted that a 100 within a year was a secret target of hers, Dharmesh kept track of Liz' progress. With the target nearing,Abi & Dharmesh quietly organised a little surprise party to celebrate, masking it as a little post-mission picnic in the park. Dharmesh played it so well, that Liz only noticed a group of familiar faces when she just about tripped over them in Victoria Park!

An ecclectic mix of crisps & vegan pizza & scones with strawberries and cream & bread with dips formed a marvelous picnic meal, conversations flowing from missions with Liz to running to Goodgym to all sorts of things. The picnic was topped off with a lovely chocolate cake made by Abi, complete with GG mission logo - a fitting gesture to honour the Queen.

And as Liz admitted afterwards, it seemed royalty comes quite natural to her, forgetting she was wearing a crown until station staff called her Princess...
