What better way to start a Sunday than by lending a hand (and a few cheers) at a junior parkrun? This morning, three GoodGymers stepped up to support the amazing team at Hornfair junior parkrun, joining forces with the brilliant regular volunteers and cheering on 26 energetic juniors at the start line.

We had: Peter, taking the lead as Run Director Marta keeping things on track as Number Checker, And me, proudly donning the Parkwalker vest – encouraging the little runners and making sure everyone stayed safe and motivated.

There’s something special about seeing young runners giving it their all – and being part of the team that cheers them on? Even better.

But today wasn’t just another feel-good Sunday… it was a milestone moment for me too – my 50th GoodGym good deed! Hoorah! 🥳

It feels like only yesterday I said “yes” to that first community mission. I never imagined how something as simple as giving a bit of time could give back so much in purpose, joy, and connection.

Sharing good deeds isn’t about boasting — it’s about inspiring. Leading by example shows that even small acts of kindness add up. If it encourages even one more person to get involved, then that’s a win. 🙌

Here’s to many more miles, smiles, and good deeds ahead. Thanks to everyone who’s encouraged me along the way – your support means the world. ❤️

P.S. You could say I’ve “run into” a pretty great community. 😉
