Really great article from independent.co.uk about a father who picks his ten year old daughter up from school, and then they freerun home. An excellent job at showing yet another way Parkour and Freerunning is helping communities and families. Excerpt of the article below, and link to full article.

It's 3.20pm and I'm on the school run. The bell goes and my 10-year-old daughter, Imogen, appears, handing me her pink lunchbox, which I hastily slip into my backpack. "How was your day?," I ask. "So, so," comes her stock reply. We then set off for home, but not by car. I've always done the school run on foot as Imogen and I enjoy walking. But now our daily jaunt on shanks's pony has taken an eccentric turn – which could explain the odd looks we're getting from the other parents and children. Imogen and I are "free running" our way home.
