Researchers to the rescue!
2 GoodGymers made their way to help an isolated older person in Southwark.
- Wednesday, 13th of February 2019
On a sunny Wednesday morning two GoodGym runners were notified of a mission in Southwark ... just a few hours later Marta and Abi were at Ms J's home rearranging some furniture so that a hospital bed could be delivered.
We efficiently dismantled a double bed, took it outside to be collected, moved an armchair from the lounge to the bedroom and swept up a little to make the room more comfortable for Ms J's return. In the process, we discovered that we had actually both been research scientists in two of the same malaria labs in London and Cambridge over the past decade, though never at the same time. It's great that our paths finally crossed through GoodGym, and even better that Ms J will be able to come home from hospital as soon as possible.
