A Red Card to the TV, another win for #RedThunder
13 GoodGymers made their way 7.2km to help the Harthill Youth Centre in Liverpool.

Clashing with the first England game of the World Cup, our terrific 12 forewent the footie to do good-deeds in our local community. I know who the real heroes are! And even better than the side in Russia, we had a 11-strong team of talented sports people, plus a coach barking orders from the sidelines! (waves)
After a 3.5km run from our Hope Street Hotel base to Harthill Youth Centre in Wavertree (with a little impromptu hill-training on the way!) the team set to work clearing a long overgrown path. The land around the youth centre has become pretty unruly but there are exciting plans to turn it into a community garden, with a little people power from GoodGym to help them along their way.
We had 4 fab newbies this week. So a big shout out to Adam, Kate, Adam and Rachael for fitting in perfectly with the rest of the team and really getting stuck in to the task.
The team at Harthill Youth Centre showed us their hospitable side once again and the runners were treated to orange slices and cookies before hitting the road. On the return leg we enjoyed a quick fitness session aimed at engaging our glutes and just about beat the rain back to Hope Street. Great effort GoodGym, you are so much more impressive than the England team ;)
Next week we're going back to where it all began, as we help out at Fern Grove community garden, which was also our very first GoodGym Liverpool task back in March. It is a newbie-friendly session with a flat run of about 2.4km (in each direction). So sign-up and bring a friend!
See you next time, Char <3
