Pedro the Grill’d Movember Piggybank heads to our Crows Nest store in preparation for Movember

It’s been a busy few weeks in the Grill’d Support Office gearing up for Movember. Pedro, our Movember Donations Piggy Bank was finishing up a long week in the office when a call came through.

“Pedro, you’re needed in our Crows Nest store ASAP. Movember is around the corner and the locals are keen to get involved.”

Without any hesitation Pedro jumped straight into the Grill’d Kombi to start the journey from Melbourne to Sydney. A big effort – but well worth it to help raise awareness on men’s health issues.

Pedro even found time along the way to drop in on some old mates, including the Dog on the Tuckerbox, near Gundagai. “We’re old schoolmates” Pedro was quoted as saying, “I too hope one day I will be immortalized in a statue located in the middle of nowhere”.

The drive was a long one, but Pedro was committed to getting to Crows Nest and spreading the word about Grill’d getting behind Movember in 2009.

A quick pit stop 415kms out of Sydney and then Pedro fired the Kombi for a final assault on the approach to Sydney, which included a scenic drive over the Harbour Bridge.

900kms later and Pedro arrived at our Crows Nest store on a perfect Sydney Sunday afternoon. Proud of his effort and considering a career in long-haul truck driving, Pedro rewarded himself with an Almighty Beef Burger (we didn’t have the heart to tell him there was crispy trim bacon in the burger!).

Keep an eye out for Pedro and all his mates in store during the month of Movember and be sure to donate to such a worthy cause.
