The wonderful folk at Care4Calais Stockport put out an appeal for donations of mens clothing as they had had 170 male refugees arriving hotels across Manchester and did not have the donated supplies to offer them the basic clothing.

GoodGym Stockport jumped on board and rallied up donations from friends, family and colleagues and designated one of our group runs to load ourselves up like a pack horse and run the collected donations to the C4C headquarters.

Little did we know that the we would have the added hurdle of snow, hail and sleet to contend with!

We set off from base in minus degrees, layered up,.lamps on and backpacks on to brave the snow.

A 3km downhill run, a quick unloading and sorting task then a 3km uphill run and we were back at base.
