20.01.2022 With Movember over, we have a final update from the one and only Andy! "Hi all! So Movember is all done and dusted!... I managed to get my goal of 1000kms done! with a day to spare. As it was such a nice day on Sunday, I decided to make a (big) day of it, covering 210kms in under 10 hours.

I am also happy to report that I met my goal amount of funds, and got to $545.00 raised for the Movember! cause." Andy has included some photos from the final parts of his challenge.
