Lawn mower man: Rodney Smith Jr completes 50 states challenge

Rodney Smith Jr, who lives in Huntsville, Alabama, set off across the country in May and ended his epic journey on 17 July.

His group, Raising Men Lawn Care Service, aims to encourage children to take part in community service.

This is the second year Mr Smith has done the challenge.

On his website, Mr Smith pledged to mow "2-3 lawns per state" ahead of his journey, anywhere within a 30-mile radius of a major city in the state.

A section on the site allowed people to "submit a lawn" for Mr Smith to mow.
