Report written by Sian Dobson Hughes
With the number of food banks on the rise and the number of people using them also increasing, we're once again simply asking the running community: Will you run to your local food bank?
During the last Winter, we were astonished by how many runners wanted to support their local community through the Food Bank Run.
Over 500 groups, clubs, events, parkruns and other got involved.
In total, over 77,000 KG's of supplies were donated which is the equivalent of 3 arctic lorries full. That translates to 336,875 meals for families and individuals who are struggling to put food on their tables.
This month, GoodGym areas did a food bank run takeover to support our local food banks with much needed items.
7 Stockport GoodGymers (with two runderful newbies) loaded our sacks and ran the 2.5 km weighted, uphill route to our local foodbank. We stocked the shelves with our goodies before running the distance back!
We (tin) CAN do it!
