Damu run their first marathon: 26.2 Miles.
Damu has run their first marathon. This means dedicated training, consistent effort and a lot of support. There's always some pain, always some stress, and always some questioning of what life is all about when your take on something as hard as a Marathon. Your support has has helped make this possible, now the hard work is over, give Damu a pat on the back.

Newcastle Report written by Newcastle runner
It was a day of meetings today. We met Marie who joined us for her first GoodGym task - welcome Marie! We also met task owner Sue and perhaps most importantly we met Magret who has been allocated the garden we were working on today. A delay in starting caused by a very reluctant, rarely used very large padlock allowed us to learn that Magret arrived in the UK from Zimbabwe around 14 years ago, worked for years as a carer for people with learning difficulties until her eyesight began to fail around five years ago. This is the reason that Magret needs our help with clearing the overgrown garden so that she can benefit from it. We discovered that Adam was able to say hello in one of the languages spoken in Zimbabwe! Together with Marie being French we had a lively conversation about learning different languages!
After a quick trip home, Sue came back with a can of WD40 which did the trick with the padlock so we were able to get started. Two hours in the spring sunshine, discussions about various TV programmes and lots of digging and raking later, and we had cleared the first section of Magret's garden. There’s a lot of work still to do and we’ll definitely arrange more sessions, but for now, Magret was very happy with the start we made and is looking forward to growing some onions! We look forward to seeing the progress in the garden. For now, marvel at our before and after photos!
