Jeremy Evans has done their first good deed with GoodGym.
Jeremy 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.

Four GoodGymers ran 3.4km and packed 4 bags of leaves for Cecil Sharp House
For GoodGym Camden's second starter session of the year we welcomed Phyllis and Jeremy along. Through my introduction we chatted about how people had heard about GoodGym and what we do to help others in our local communities. It explain again the three ways of doing GOOD are:
After our introductions we did an active warm up combining drills like high knees and dynamic stretches like strides. We then headed off north towards Cecil Sharp House, doing a mix of a run and walk when needed. Comfortably covering the 1.6km.
Folk running!
Once we arrived at Cecil Sharp House we met the wonderful Susannah who introduced us and told us some more information including:
Our task for tonight was bagging up leaves in section of the garden out the back, even in January leaves still populate this area and it's important for it be cleared. We got to work with a bag each and portable lights picking and packing up those leaves!
After 20 minutes we had cleared the flower bed and made it look beautiful - nice one guys! We said our goodbyes to Susannah and ran the 1.8km back to base and stretched.
It was great to welcome Jeremy and Phyllis along, thank you for coming! Hope to see you again soon.
We meet every Wednesday at GoodGym Camden at 18.45pm, and of course GoodGym meets all over London and UK, just check out the website.
Sign up for next week here, we will be making beds for the homeless and gardening for Sheltered Housing (both 5km overall).
PB out.
