It would have been very easy for excuses to be made today as the weather in Ipswich has been woeful. Non-stop torrential rain...But thats where the GoodGym team spirit works it magic.

Natasha and Natalie braved the onslaught of rain, attempted to dodge puddles before realising this war on water was not one they could win. Resistance was futile so just keep running!

They met Christina and Clara at Blue Cross Rehoming Centre and were greeted with towels and a rather adorable litter of puppies which might just have made Tash's heart melt.

Quickly they got to work cleaning the appointment rooms and reception area leaving it refreshed and sparkling.

Extra hat tip to Natasha for running back too! What a hero!

We are all looking forward to heading back to help again. But for now, time for a hot bath!
