9 Westminster GoodGyming Goodgymers ran 5.5k to St Andrews youth club and stuffed 750 letters to help the youth club get some much needed funding!!

Setting of from the warmth of Marshall Street Leisure Centre into the Central London Chill. Navigating the hassle of Piccadilly as we headed around St James’ park as we hit our stride. Great pace and form as the distance was covered.

Reaching St Andrew’s Youth club, one of Westminster’s most important youth institutions and a safe haven for so many young people.

Tonight’s task was to fill as many letters and address them for a local business who in term then provided funding for the clubs news letter as well as new computers for the club.

An awesome production line and some motivational encouragement from the club’s members meant we were flying!! Filling so many letters it was crazy totalling up 750 completed letters in 40 minutes!! To warm us up for the run back we were given some lovely stuffed peppers from the youth clubs cooking class!!

Swift run back and our job was complete!!

Great work and see you next week for some more fun on the run!!

Joel
