This morning 7 GoodGymers turned up to support 83 youngsters run 2 km around the Old Heath Rec alongside a number of regular volunteers.

We were really impressed with the effort and speed of the children. 10 of them finished in under 10 minutes, and an impressive 27 achieved a personal best, including a fantastic debut by Freddie.

It was really rewarding to see how much they enjoyed the run and valued the support. Our help was also highly valued by the volunteer coordinator who mentioned that it can be a struggle to get enough volunteers during school holidays, so watch this space for another opportunity to help out in the summer.

P.S. please post a creative title suggestion in the comments and I'll replace the existing one!
