Daryl greeted us at the start point for the March for Men, but feeling awful… he had to go back home to bed. That left Keith and Lea to represent Goodgym as marshalls for the March for Men. What a perfect day for it. Our marshalling point was the turning point for the 5k. We set off in our high vis jackets with our sign and our cow bells. The first runner turned up 9 mins after the start, yikes, running past us to do the 10k. Then more runners and more walkers turned up, some turning round, visibly relieved to see the turning point signs. Lots of high fives, lots of smiles, lots of thumbs up and even a red rose from a lion for Lea! Kudos to all the people doing their bit for prostate cancer. Not many photos as we were too busy ringing our bells. Fun fact: On our way back home we saw the partial eclipse of the sun....
