31 amazing GoodGymers ran over 11km to have a board games night with residents of Redmayne View Care Home.
Jamie was on his 1st GoodGym encounter - what a distance to start on!
Thank you to Bill and Elizabeth for being back runners.
Well done to Neil and Millie for doing their 10th GoodGym good deeds.
On arrival the residents were spread across a few tables with various board games set out including: Buckaroo, Connect4, Kerplunk, Pull My Finger (don't ask haha) and various others.
Michelle cottoned on to Peeing Pup and subsequently started giving facials to everyone, she even got some in my eye.
When I asked Ivy if she wanted to pull my actual finger the told me off for being rude haha. She was also very competitive as when she lost at Buckaroo she threw the pieces across the table in sheer disappointment!
Stephen was in his element when one of the residents let him take her mobility scooter for a spin across the hall way - one thing ticked off his bucket list!
We had about 45 minutes there and we finished up with some soup and a roll. We couldn't stomach the cake so Bill, Robert and Hayley had the task of trying to carry them over 5.5km back to The Forum in one piece.
Next week we're packing fundraising hampers for Break Charity.
