The 2013 Belleville Mandarin MS Walk took place on May 26 at Moira Secondary School. With 211 participants, the event raised $35,202! Prominent at this year’s event was the unofficial theme of laughter, smiling and having fun! Despite, the slightly colder weather, participants weren’t dissuaded from enjoying all the entertainment Belleville staff and volunteers organized.
Belleville participants were treated to entertainment from long-time volunteer Rollo the Clown (who celebrated his 80th birthday with us) and his friend Topper the Clown. In addition, 2012 Trenton Teen Idol Michayla Marykuca sang and played guitar for participants as they registered, posed for TeamMS photos and waited for the walk to start. It was a truly memorable morning!
After the event, local sponsors Little Caesars Pizza, Dewes Your Independent Grocer, Tim Hortons and Starbucks provided walkers with much needed sustenance upon their return from either 5k or 10k routes. Following the closing ceremonies, people returned home happy, well fed and excited for next year’s Mandarin MS Walk!
