Sunday the Acts of Sweetness team brought our chocolate chip cookies to the MS Walk checkpoint in Sunnybrook Park. We arrived early and though it started slow, it picked up fairly fast and we actually ran out of cookies! Thousands of people showed up and it was great to see such a big crowd out early on a Sunday morning.
I think everyone was happy that it was a beautiful sunny day, and that April showers didn’t rain on our parade. It’s too be expected that some events will have more attendees than others, but this one was our biggest yet. The cookies were flying off the table and out of our hands. It was a really great crowd of young and old, friends and family, teams and individuals, kids and pets. No one was left out. The sweetest part of the day was noting the name of the person each participant was walking for, everyone had their own personal reason for being there.
True to his cookie loving nature, the cookie monster showed up! We couldn’t believe it. What a perfect team, we had the cookies and he wanted to eat them – all of them. The walk was a true success and we look forward to more busy events like this in the future.
