20th and final shopping for Mrs J
1 GoodGymer made their way to help an isolated older person in Swindon.
- Wednesday, 26th of August 2020
When I accepted the first shopping task for Mrs J I would not have thought that I'd be doing so for the next 20 weeks. It has added to my weekly task totals that have led me to receive my black GoodGym Top, and given me the opportunity to to represent GoodGym in a promotional video for Zurich, one of our funding partners. I also completed my coach training during this time so as 20 weeks of shopping and prescription collecions for Mrs J comes to an end another door opens and I am now paired with her for weekly coach visits. No more chickens or 'taste the difference' dog food but hopefully still some nice enough weather to sit in her garden socially distanced and have a good old natter. She likes to talk, I like to listen, we like to laugh.

What a lovely report Gina. Congratulations on your black top, pairing and marketing fame. We're lucky to have you as part of GoodGym and know that your friendship with Mrs J will continue to blossom over the coming months.
Amazing number of shopping weeks Gina! Great you’ve now been paired too 👍
You really are a super star Gina; thank you for everything you have done for Mrs J during the lockdown. Not only the shopping but the weekly chats on the phone as well. I'm so pleased you have been paired and I think Mrs J is too!
