Liverpool

Mission

Too wet to run? Wheel make it. Trai'n stop us!

2 GoodGymers made their way to help an isolated older person in Liverpool.

Sunday, 28th of July 2019

The wind blew and the rain fell but Goodgym mission runners, Leo and Pauline, didn't let that get in the way of their task. Cycling through the unseasonable weather, they jumped a train and biked the final stretch to reach the home of Mr and Mrs T.

A once beautiful and well tended garden had become overgrown and self seeded saplings threatened to take over.

Armed with loppers and secateuers, Leo tidied up Mrs T's favourite tree while Pauline took care of the saplings. Miraculously, the rain stopped just long enough for the job to be done...and within an hour, the green bin was filled.

Mr T, a double amputee, has missed being able to get out and enjoy his garden. He can now enjoy the view from his living room and, hopefully, weather permitting, get back outside to sit in the sun.
