Six runners ran 4km to Mencap to paint
After a day of strange yellow skies and sandy rain in Chelmsford, we met up in the drizzle and set off down the high street to Mencap.
We were particularly grateful for the indoor task with the weather conditions, and for our task owner providing two ladders so we could get double the painting in the high areas.
Joe and Joel climbed up the ladders to reach the high areas, whilst Charlie and Andy painted the areas that were reachable, and Becca and me supported with keeping an eye on the ladders and holding paint trays. We painted the walls with as much Vanilla Sundae as we could manage, we jogged back a slightly different way in the ever increasing rain.
We're almost there with this painting; just another one or two more trips up the ladder!
By us doing this work for Mencap, it means that they can focus their resources on their charitable work and keep on making a difference to their clients.
See you all next week!
