    Hi All,

    While it's no longer November, I have decided to continue this competition. Instead of three people, however, we will rotate picking one person a week.

    One of us will choose someone start by choosing someone tomorrow.

    I'm going to have to cheat this week and pick two people.

    Thank you to @Alice G for being a continuous source of motivation in the forums. I know many people are going through a difficult time this month and having your supportive posts in the forum really does make a difference.

    Thank you to @Daniel Boden. No explanation needed here! We always look forward to your helpful posts and you've bravely shared both your good and challenging experiences.

    I'll invite both of you now.
