Morning from Andrew's penguin. He's getting ready to go on a BIG adventure!!

As an adult Andrew, I'm sure, would be aghast we were putting his penguin on social media (akin to the reaction that Joel's teddy in MAFSAU received), but as a child he adored penguins. We thought it was a way to represent Andrew and keep him clearly in mind.

Penguin has already been on 2 endurance walks managing 21 miles each time, representing Andrew as he travelled with his dad on the walk. Andrew and his dad had finished the walk two years running before Andrew took his life.

This time penguin will be going on a very interesting trip involving cars, planes and a plethora of other vehicular modes of transport. See further updates over the next two weeks.
