Here's what Mrs M of SW17 had to say about the mission:

'Thanks again David and Catriona! Without people like you the world would be a much sadder place.'

Mrs M of SW17, mission beneficiary

It all started in the borough of Wandsworth, where Catriona and I had met. I had ran from Brixton (6K) and Catriona had beaten her 5K PB at Clapham Park Run earlier in the day. So we were well and truly warmed up.

After a friendly greeting from the lovely Mrs M we were directed to her garden where our mission awaited us. The mission was simple, trim the bushes back, weed a part of the garden and rescue some bricks hidden under some ivy. As this was our second mission that we've done together we had a good old chin wag whilst cracking on with the task. Catriona weeded, I trimmed, rescued the bricks and we both tidied up, completing the job in top fashion. To the delight of Mrs M, it was mission accomplished. Result, another happy client!
