Here's what Ms J of N7 had to say about the mission:

Feedback from the referrer - 'Thank you so much for all your hard work!!!!'

Ms J of N7, mission beneficiary

I arrived at Ms Js on a hot September morning and temperatures were soaring at a sensational 26 degrees. I met Natasha at the house, who had impressively run 4 miles to get to the task in the heat. Whilst I had opted for the easier option and had taken the train (this felt somewhat like cheating...).

Earlier this week Tasha completed her first coach run. Amazing work! Make sure you go and give her a cheer :)

We chopped, swept, cleared... repeat! Until at last the carpet of brambles were back under control, after around 90 mins of work. On root (sorry, bad pun) we enjoyed talking about our reasons for running and for being part of goodgym. It's great to be part of such an awesome community!!

We made a lot of progress in the garden but there is still a little bit left to do to finish it off. Hopefully another team can make sure that Ms J has her garden restored to its former glory.

Train in vain
