A poem, dodgeball and how slow is slow?

Matthew Melling, aka The Wigan Runner joins Vassos and Louise this week to share his extraordinary story. Matthew has been on a daily 5k run streak since January 1st 2017 - many of which have been at parkrun both home and abroad. Last year he raised enough money to send the local junior dodgeball team to New York to compete in the Dodgeball World Cup. Vassos throws Louise a curved ball (excuse the pun) and we get sent our first parkrun poem.
