Hi my name is Mandy - I love the idea of goodgym and hope we can bring the benefits to Barnstaple soon! I have experience of running and volunteering at running events through marshalling. I am late to running (started at aged 50 plus!) and am less interested in speed as the social and fitness aspect of being part of the running community. I am a regular participant in Parkrun and have seen the friendships and sense of family that this generates, I am sure goodgym will be the same. I am a nurse by profession and so have worked for nearly 40 years in a caring profession, and really like the idea of making a difference to the lives of people in a different way!
