We really wanted to share this photo. A couple of us from the Healthy You Ltd www.healthyyoultd.cco.uk team ran the Leeds Half Marathon on Sunday. It was the first we had done since lockdown and we were reminded as to why we love events like these.
At Healthy You we stand for prevention, intervention and community. Today very much felt like those three areas were alligned. Along the way, people we chatted to shared the positive impact excercise has had on their mental health. More than that, what was emotionally overwhelming at times along the route was the community feel. Everyone in it together, supporting one another with words of encouragement and motivation. We love these events because their effused with the milk of human kindness at its best. People gave their day voluntarily to marshal it, families were giving out sweets (definitely welcomed at the 10th mile), lots had cut oranges, were giving out drinks and generally rallying us along. You couldnt help but absorb the kindness.
At Healthy You we wholeheartedly believe that many small actions of kindness significantly impact others. If we all did small actions collectively we could make a massive change.
