Mary's Mission

1 GoodGymer made their way to help an isolated older person in Hackney.

I cycled via Tesco on a sunny Thursday afternoon to deliver some fruit and veg to Mary.

I called Mary to confirm her shopping list before heading out and she was concerned that I would struggle to carry her shopping to her. I explained I would be cycling and had my backpack with me so it wouldn't be a problem.

I had a brief chat with Mary when dropping off her shopping. We agreed it was surreal to find ourselves in the strange situation we were all now in and she said she couldn't believe and was very grateful for all the support she'd been offered since she had been self isolating.
