Run, sweat and stairs

16 fantastic GoodGymers ran 9.58km to help raise awareness for WAND

We started the night off with the usual welcome speech. Including details of the social next week at Queen’s Head and of course the week’s task. This week, we were back to Wand’s office in St Charles Hospital pick up flyers and deliver in nearby estates Raymede and Dalgarno.

A spring in our step

It was a treat to start the run off with a warm-up in the daylight - Spring had finally arrived. Then we headed up north as a one big group and everyone happy at the same pace so we only had the traffic lights for stops.

Once we got to the hospital, Jerusa welcomed us at the office and gave the group a little overview of WAND’s amazing free services for women. More on that here. We would be helping raise awareness through delivering flyers about their services and multi-language mental wellness service.

The runners managed to cover all of 17 floors in the Raymede tower in no time. So then we headed to quickly over to the Dalgarno. Getting access to the buildings slowed our process at this estate, in spite of that the gang manged to delivering where they could. To check no one was still roaming the estate we gathered together for a headcount before setting off on the return run.
