Walk Diary: Woodbridge-Vaughan Mandarin MS Walk




This week’s entry is from MS Society staff member Scott.M.

The 2013 Woodbridge-Vaughan Mandarin MS Walk was held on Sunday, May 5 and was a huge success!  Moving Mountains for MS made their team debut with an astonishing 252 participants, helping the event surpass its 2012 participant totals with 472 walkers raising an outstanding $81,000 in 2013.

After a fabulous opening ceremony that included speeches from Mayor Bevilacqua, Rogers TV’s Erica Natividad and a warm up led by Bodies by Design, participants enjoyed a sunny walk through the streets of Woodbridge. Upon their return, pizza and hot dogs were served and prizes were raffled off to lucky participants.
The proceeds from the Mandarin MS Walk will support research and services for people living with MS within the Woodbridge and Vaughan communities. Thanks to all participants and donors, your contributions will go a long way in the fight to end MS!

Check back next week for our Walk Diary from the Markham-Stouffville Mandarin MS Walk!
