Mary Melville has done their first good deed with GoodGym.
Mary 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.

Islington Report written by Paul Bown
19 GoodGymers ran 5km and helped Origin Housing with various tasks in a local park!
Thank you very much for coming along on our last January group run, it's been a wonderful start to the year! Welcome along to Mary whose first group run and good deed it was last night! Lovely to have you along :)
In the news this week:
On to last night - after a quick warm up we headed to Highbury Fields to get some extra distance in before heading to the task, this included Ernie's short cut through the alley back to the Emirates. Upon our arrival at the task we'd completed over 3km of running - nice!
Origin Housing was the charity we were helping this week; they are brilliant - providing social housing, care services and support for various groups of vulnerable people in our communities. Upon arrival Kamisha was there to meet us, explain the job and give us tools. We were continuing our fabulous work from last week, where we collected up 20 bags of leaves & weeds.
Task Part 2!
This park space on Parkside Crescent is part of the Origin Housing community in Islington but hasn't been looked after or used for over 6 months.
We split into teams and conquered the following:
After 30 minutes we'd bagged up 10 bags from our various tasks and made the garden look a lot tidier for the residents. Once we'd completed our 1km run back we did 3x stairway sprints to finish off.
Sign up for next week here, task details coming soon.
PB out.
