Ryan Dowd has done their first good deed with GoodGym.
Ryan 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.

Kingston upon Thames Report written by Jess
A full moon & a beautiful clear night for a Kingston group run! Welcoming 5 new runners this week.. Kay, Ryan, Ellie, Katie & Charlotte great to meet you all!
We set off in two teams a walking group & runners starting with the ever important warm up to get those bodies moving! (It felt more like dodge the pedestrian!)
We took the scenic route to tonight’s task, a 4.5k run on the way out via Munster road the other side of the river. We arrived at our destination, to find trowels, brushes, bags all the tools at the ready for us! Andrew (from I.D Verde) had everything in place and started by giving us a guided tour of the weeds vs shrubs so we knew what needed removing from the flower beds.
We set to work in the good gym spirit, there wasn’t ‘mushroom’ to be had in amongst all the weeds but being surrounded by ‘funghi’s’ we had it cleared & looking healthy in no time!
Tonight’s tasks created lots of interest in the community as local passers by were drawn to the activity - keen to know what we were all about and so grateful for our efforts too!
A great job, smiles all round & lots of chatter had by all, such a well organised task as always! Helped along by the super guidance of Andrew who topped it all off with congratulated on the quality of our work.
Love a Transformative Tuesday with Good Gym in Kingston - Looking forward to next week already!
A big well done to Dave and Caroline on some great running last weekend and have a blast Charlotte at the 10km this weekend coming!
