Not only was I able to get my sweat on power walking at the front of the group, but I also had the awesome experience of speaking to so many wonderful peeps about their own experience and hearing their stories as to why this was an important weekend for them. I felt honored and so excited to be a part of this so thank you so much to Jessica at the Weekend Walk for asking me to take part in such a fabulous day!<\/p>\n<p>Oh, and side note after the walk I also was lucky enough to mingle with the peeps from the walk as well as the one and only\u00a0Craig McKinnon from the\u00a0Bachelorette. That is right, Chicks he was there volunteering as well and as you can see by the pics below he couldn&#8217;t help but offer\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.fitchicks.ca\/about\/meet-your-chick-sergeants\">Jillian<\/a> our\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.fitchicks.ca\/locations\/newmarket\">Newmarket Bootcamp Instructor<\/a> and me a rose, we accepted;) LOL<\/p>\n\n<p>Coming up soon I will be telling you chicks all about our next big charity event but I am curious what events do you help out or participate in? <strong>Leave a comment below and let me know!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;d love to hear any questions or ideas for the blog.
