Walk Diary: Etobicoke Mandarin MS Walk

Relive the 2013 Mandarin MS Walk events with this summer’s walk diary! Read up on events across the province or experience your favorite moments all over again. Over the summer we will be sharing highlights and results from some of our events. This week’s journal comes from walk staff member Pat S., about the Etobicoke Mandarin MS Walk.

The 2013 Etobicoke Mandarin MS Walk was held on Sunday, May 5 at St. Mark Catholic School.  The event included 386 participants and raised just over $86,000 for people living with MS. We couldn’t have asked for a better day. The majority of participants were even wearing shorts…a big change from previous years!

 Activities at the Etobicoke Mandarin MS Walk included the opportunity to have TeamMS photos taken in front of an OPP surveillance truck and Cold Stone Creamery was on site to give all participants a well-deserved treat upon their return from the 5km or 10km walk.

This year’s top fundraisers (anyone who raised $1000+) in Etobicoke were also entered into a draw to win two airline tickets to anywhere in North America, courtesy of Air Canada.  This year’s lucky winner was Charlene G. who raised $1525. Congratulations Charlene and thank you for your continued support!
