Rocking around the Christmas tree-lined streets of Kingston
4 GoodGymers made their way 3.0km to help the SPEAR Housing Association in Kingston upon Thames.

4 runners were “rocking around the Christmas tree(lined)” streets of North Kingston this evening to help raise money for SPEAR.
They had done a leaflet drop the day before to let everyone know that “Santa Claus is coming to town”. The winter evenings are certainly “the most wonderful time of the year” to find generous people at home keen to donate to worthy causes.
“It was beginning to look a lot like Christmas” as we joined “Santa’s Super Sleigh” led by “Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer” to knock door to door to wish “Merry Christmas Everyone”. It was certainly not a “Silent Night” as we walked the streets with Christmas songs blaring from the Santa Sleigh Stereo!
It was a really fun evening that helped us all to “Step into Christmas” and we agreed that we had all had “a very Merry Christmas” mission!
Feedback from SPEAR: Thank you so much for the tremendous SPEAR support at Kingston Carol Wagon on Thursday! We all had to move faster once you'd gone - you certainly covered some ground!
We usually don't hear until well after Christmas how much is raised at this event but I'll let you know as soon as we know.
It was certainly SPEAR's healthiest year in terms of volunteer numbers and, for this, we thank you.
Have a wonderful Christmas one and all.
Best of all possible wishes, Joy
