Paul Waiting has done their first good deed with GoodGym.
Paul 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.

Worthing Report written by JULIA GLEESON
8 GoodGymers set out on a short balmy warm up run westwards along the prom before returning to Splashpoint for part 2 of removing bamboo from community flower beds and replacing it with wild flower seeds.
It was a delight to meet up with Peter and Ranger Duncan from Adur -Worthing who supplied the resource and materials for the task.
Right from the outset Belinda had suggested a 'seed off' competition 2 beds 2 teams 30 minute makeover The teams got to immediate work like a mission ( not) impossible !
The bamboo was certainly challenging to remove with snake like roots that went deep but its amazing what can be achieved with 2 great teams ,the right tools and a time target! For the 2nd week running we managed a 'double double soil and trouble' and the beds magically transformed!
The 'Bingos of the day' were the winning team Peter ,Duncan (non ranger) , Gill , Karina and Michelle who take the kudos for the fastest prettiest and smallest bed ! Tee hee !
However the funniest moment and GG chuckle of the evening goes to the other team consisting of Belinda , Beth , Elisa and Duncan ( ranger ) when they captured Beth in the bag of discarded bamboo . Have a look at the photo!
We then headed out east along the beach for a 5k run managing to keep our feet fairly dry. We incorporated some challenging sprints along the stones and a relaxed trot back to our starting point stopping for some breakwater posing shots and creating one of my favourite GG photos to date.
