Fifteen GoodGym field agents pounded the streets of Swindon, Highworth, Blunsdon, Wroughton and Wootton Bassett delivering ‘Light up a Life’ Christmas celebration service packs on behalf of the Prospect Hospice.

Restrictions meant the service this year was held online, rather than in the grounds of the Hospice. The service successfully maintained the traditions of readings, carols and the lighting of a life candle, keeping those lost in the thoughts of their family and friends.

The ‘Light up a Life’ service packs were split into post code areas for distribution. Delivering the deliveries to the deliverers were Simon, Luke, 8 and Grace, 5 (although the latter two stayed in the car playing on their iPads).

GoodGym'ers walked, ran, cycled and pushed a buggy around every nook and cranny finding streets and getting all the packs delivered. A massive thank you and congratulations to Gina for delivering 40 packs around SN3, mostly on her bike on her 100th good deed. Wow! And Becky for managing to run a whopping 30K delivering packs around Wroughton, Overtown and Chiseldon. And a big thumbs up to Mike for delivering two packs earler than anticipated late at night. And, finally, well done to Ashleigh and Cath for safely making it through Murder Alley dressed as Spiderman and Wonder Woman!

A huge thank you to everyone who took part and got over 150 packs safely delivered in time for the service.
