Rake, nettle and run 🏃🏻♀️
13 GoodGymers made their way 4.9km to help the Bexley Mencap in Bexley.
- Monday, 1st of July 2019
- Led by Sarah Lee
On a warm Monday evening, 13 Goodgymers ran and walked to help out at Bexley Mencap offices.
The runners ran a 4km loop round to the task location, while the walkers took a more direct route in order to arrive first, open up shop and prepare refreshment drinks for our arrival - thanks Nick! The task at hand was to tidy and prepare the outside area next to the Mencap offices ahead of the Young Peoples BBQ happening in the week. The area had been taken over by grass and weeds as well as the occasional crisp packet and sweet wrapper. We had a variety of different tools to tackle the weeds with as we talked about the warm weekend, what parkruns we had run and who we had watched at Glastonbury on the TV (some of us had managed to spot fellow Bexley Goodgymer Sean in the crowd)
After a short while, the area was tidied and weeds cleared away so it was time for group photos and a run back to base camp.
Just before we end this run report, everyone at Goodgym Bexley would like to wish our GG leader, Tim the biggest GET WELL SOON! We all missed you tonight and we send our love and best wishes and hope that you feel better soon!

Well done on the task guys - glad I made the task in 'Somerset spirit' at least :)
PS. Sarah - I'm putting something together from the last Mencap run - would it be possible to use a couple of these photos? Thanks,
Sean
