What another great turnout this evening, which I believe is our 2nd or 3rd highest ever!

We had several new runners so a big welcome to Heather, Ana, Paul, Aston, Karen, Shunsuke and Sultan.

Elizabeth kindly volunteered to be back runner.

Some milestones this week with Bobby completing his 50th good deed, Rosie & Angela their 25th good deed and Simon his 10th good deed.

It was our first ever visit to Baby Bank Norfolk, what a great and unique organisation they are. I'm sure we'll do plenty of visits to them in the future. Similar to the Food Bank, they work on a referral basis and have helped provide over 600 families with clothing and baby essentials.

There was quite a lot of running included, 4km each-way for the task and as all of us couldn't fit in the sorting room, we did relays so one person was running while the other was sorting.

Very kindly, Baby Bank Norfolk provided us with drinks and chocolate to keep our energy levels up throughout the evening.

We achieved a lot in the time we were there, in fact we pretty much sorted through all of the donations they had, so this can help them focus on getting the items out to families.

After 30-40 minutes (which equates to around 25 hours), we took the group photo and then headed off on the windy 4km run to The Forum. The evening was finished with several people going to the pub.

Next week we're visiting Norwich Food Bank.
