Let's Move Willowdale
Our hearts are full as we look back on our Let's Move Willowdale event on Saturday April 30th at Hendon Park!
Hundreds of neighbours came together on a beautiful sunny day to walk, run and ride from Hendon Park through the Finch Hydro Corridor and back. Then we celebrated with a BBQ and live entertainment!
Not only did we have an amazing time with our neighbours, we were also able to pass the halfway mark of our 50K Spring/Summer Fundraising Goal!
We'd like to thank everyone who made this wonderful day possible:
