Hi everyone,

I just wanted to share that Andrew was in a major car accident on Friday night. He suffered a severe traumatic brain injury and immediately underwent brain surgery upon arrival at the ER. He is currently in the intensive care unit fighting for his life. This community has been the most enormous blessing to us both this past year. You are all more than just his subscribers, you are people who recognize just how special he is and show up to honor that week after week with your time and kind words. I feel confident that he would want you all to know this news. Please be praying for him and sending all of the good thoughts. If you care to follow along and receive health updates, feel free to access that at the link below:

Much love to you all. Thank you for being here.

Evelyn

I’m glad you replied, I saw links to a couple of related YTubers’ recent vids (POV and Trek Planner) yesterday and forgot to follow up to see how he’s doing.
