Glen Mason has done their first good deed with GoodGym.
Glen is a now a fully fledged GoodGym runner. They've just run to do good for the first time. They are out there making amazing things happen and getting fit at the same time.

Westminster Report written by Joel Wiles
22 Westminster GoodGymers ran 9k to help One Big Family Homeless Charity.
Amazing to see so many first timers and such a top turnout for the final session in the January Challenge!!
Westminster certainly smashed our GoodDeed target!! Might be tantalisingly just short to the distance target after tonight’s numbers get crunched!!
So apart from our super strong running it is fair to say that the task didn’t go to plan!! With task owner Mike laid up in bed with a very bad back Harley was in charge and in his excitement made all the food before we go to the estate! Determined to do our bit we helped carry as much of the food, drink and kit for the evening up to Victoria and set up ready to serve the local homeless community with some sustenance for the evening!! A rescue group had to make a dash back to the youth club as cups had been left behind, a great way to keep warm and get some extra running distance in!!
While the rest of the group served food and drink meeting some very colourful characters along the way with unique coffee preferences!!
With time getting short we zipped back to base trying a new route for the fun of it and powered through Green Park and back to base a little late but fitter and happier!!
Well done to all the first timers!! Keep coming back it gets easier and warmer (I hope!!).
Be great to see you all again for a session next week when we help Open Age who facilitate activities for Westminsters over 55’s.
Have a great week
Smooth Running
