Congratulations to GoodGym Richmond member Sam who has now qualified as a run leader 🥳 Sam took us through our paces this evening with a thorough warm-up followed by a 5km run across Richmond Bridge, along the river and through the grounds of Marble Hill House to our task at INS in Twickenham.
The INS centre offers support to those with neurological conditions, including many recovering from a stroke. Their outside garden space has been well created to provide wheelchair access, including flower beds at appropriate height.
Task owner Sarah had brilliantly prepared for us, with plenty of tools for the job, and a very welcome glass of water each! The mission was to remove the weeds that were staking claim to the garden in every corner! Between 13 of us, we removed so many and the lovely sound of chatter, digging, scraping and sweeping filled the garden as we worked!
At the end of the task, Sam led us back a slightly more direct route to Richmond, adding on just over 4km to our total run distance.
INS have already welcomed us back so if you missed this chance, keep an eye out for further listings.
