2021 Wrap Up
Wait what?
January feels like YEARS ago…
Every month of 2021 has been absolutely stacked, now we're looking back with no idea how all these memories belong to just 1 year.
There’s been laughs, lessons, lockdowns, a new app, hardship, hair dye, hellos and goodbyes.
Here’s what went down:

Every week we comitted to running or walking 5km as a team at the local park, even hooking up with @unfitrunclub for jog!

In Feb we got pen to paper and started to figure out what we are all about as a team and what values we live by.
