I always take something with me to donate like a 8 pack of mars/crunchie/wispa or a tin of sweets at Christmas. Also biscuits and crisps for those who don’t eat chocolate.

BarefootEm May 2020 7:50am, 2 May 2020 621 posts	0 BarefootEm Hi everyone! I donated for the first time in ages yesterday! I wasn't a runner last time I donated (apparently.. I thought I had been much more recently than they have records for, but I guess time flies!) Do you think I'll be ok to do a gentle session this afternoon? If I'm careful?
