A team of hard-core GoodGymers battled the wind and rain this evening to help get the Mencap garden spick and span. Nia joined us for her first session in a while and had flashbacks to her first incredibly soggy GoodGym task!!

Maura heroically found her way to the task depsite getting lost and injuring herself whilst partying for her birthday yesterday!

We enjoyed watching the snails race up the wall away from where we were pulling up weeds. Katie was reminded of her snail racing days km her bedroom at home growing up - I imagine her mum wasn't best pleased!

We made a real difference in such a small space of time, well done to everyone for braving the elements this evening. Check out the before and after shots below!
