Fantastic 5
5 GoodGymers made their way 4.8km to help the Dorset Mind RED January in Bournemouth.
- Saturday, 14th of December 2019
- Led by Bournemouth runner
Dorset Mind got in touch with us and asked if we could distribute some flyers to promote their nationwide initiative that they have been.....running in January for the last few years.
One side of it is to raise much needed funds for their charity but also to get people active for the whole month of January. Not just through running but with any activity. And if it motivates you to get outdoors more, combat seasonal disorder, and get healthier then it's a great initiative.
Daryl, Marianne and Roshana were sheltering from the icy wind in the church when Sean and I arrived, and after coaxing them out with some flyers we set off along some very fruitful roads...fruitful in terms of letter boxes that it.
Roshana managed to hit 5 houses in a row with rabid dogs, desperate for the flyer she was posting through the doors. And in about 45 minutes we had managed to drop off the last ones, and ended up running a nice and easy 4km.
It was so nice to be doing good deeds in daylight again!
Well done everyone, enjoy the rest of your weekend!!
