Reason to love #parkrun no 295

"It's a pleasure just to be there and to do what I can on the day"

Remembering Dave at Nonsuch
parkrun #bemoredave
And finally “Every parkrun it's a pleasure just to be there and to do what I can on the day"
Please bear that in mind as you run round today. Just enjoy your parkrun.

Ed said Dave had told him “parkrun has helped me regain my physical health, self-esteem and a sense of optimism"
"I'm a slow runner, so what? I have my achievements, my PBs. / can look back at where / was, and see where I am now, and feel actual pride"

A great silent reception for Ed at Nonsuch parkrun this morning as he gave his tribute to his close friend & 5k Your Way Ambassador, David who has sadly passed away.
💙 Be more Dave. #parkrun #MoveAgainstCancer #loveparkrun #BemoreDave
