12 GoodGymers ran 7k to prepare the food for One Big Family homeless charities weekly food run.
A mild but dark evening awaited us this week as we met in the New Balance store and plotted our way to victory.
Heading off through the Central London buzz ducking and diving, bobbing and weaving out way South. Great to have everyone running well as we gathered pace going towards the river. 3.5k of strong Running brought us the the Ebury estate to meet Mike where we grabbed the food ingredients for the evening from the hut and delved deep into the basement of the Youth Club.
Splitting into two groups we had the cling filmers wrapping and stacking 300 pastries in the kitchen. While the sandwich production line was in full flow spreading, filling and bagging close to 100 sandwiches of 3 different varieties in 30 efficient minutes.
Making the ingredients stretch to the absolute max so that as many mouths could be fed as possible.
Was really thought provoking to think that all that food was produced for £10 plus the donations of the pastries and our volunteering. The combined efforts will have a huge impact for Westminsters homeless community tonight!!
A faster run back with some speedy running through Victoria and a huge effort by all up the Green Park Drag finished off a super satisfying evening!!
Thank you all for coming along, see you next week for some more epic GG action!!
Smooth Running
