Luis and Remy arrived for their mission to help Mr M with his garden at 10:30, but there was no answer at the door. After a long while, they decided to go for a 5k run in the nearby park to help Luis stick to his half marathon training plan.

Coincidentally, just as we finished the 5k, we ran into Mr M and his carer in the park. They were still keen to have some gardening done, so we walked him home and got to work.

The priority was clearing a path and so that Mr M could walk to the door easily and without any trip hazards. His carer said that for a hundred-year-old he still has a very active mind and body, and we saw that in action on the walk to his home!

We weeded, trimmed a hedge, cut back plants, raked, and swept so to make a safe path for Mr M, briefly dodging into the doorway when there was a sudden downpour that quickly turned into sunny mist.

We were glad that we were able to do the mission after all and get a run in.
