Three GoodGym runners gave one man and his dogs, woof, loads more space in two rooms after moving a two-piece suite and a wardrobe into the garden for collection

The challenge

Neil needed to move a 3 seater sofa and a 2 seater sofa out of his home into the garden to make more room in his home. He suffers from falls and his home is quite congested. He doesn't have the strength to do this himself and has nobody he can ask for help.

The solution

Add some GoodGym muscle and some pivoting, rests and relay removing and it was over before you could prepare a hard-boiled egg!

The outcome

A happy chap and lots of space to enjoy in two rooms with less chance of tripping over.

What a result for a short mission!

Free chocolate nibbles!

And they say the best things in life are free. On my run from North London through Greenwich I was handed some free chocolate digestive nibbles: BONUS!
