Defibrillators are serious and comic at the same time, depending on how they're represented. A local mental health charity, CAPE, wanted to fund raise for a defib at their office and had asked GoodGym Ealing to distribute leaflets to nearby residents to promote their cause. This was the serious side of defibs as they could be used to save a local person's life. The team still managed to conjure up some laughs on their route though.

A circular route around CAPE's office had been plotted for this session to deliver half of the 700 leaflets that CAPE had printed. The plan took Maria, Kash, Zain and Sevan along some streets with beautiful, large houses. There were the usual obstacles along the way. Conversion flats up or down stairs, hidden letter boxes, feline distractions, barking dogs and lost Kashs that had gone off route.

The A4 sheets were a bit of a challenge with the letterboxes as they needed to be folded one or twice to fit through. By the end of the session, each team member had perfected their own zen paper folding strategy to quickly post the sheets and finish with no leaflets left 💌. They had also covered around 5km of walking each in 90 minutes, which is pretty amazing.

We'll be distributing the other half of the leaflets soon, so if the obstacles listed are actually things that you love, look out for our next session where you can meet many cats, be startled by dogs behind doors and walk around a beautiful part of Ealing searching for a missing Kash.
