A Little Bit of Awesome: 4/17/2020 edition

The British World War Two vet who’s been walking for charity has now raised over $20 MILLION.  Now hundreds of thousands of people have signed a petition for him to be KNIGHTED by the Queen.  His goal was to walk across his back patio 100 times by his 100th birthday.  And he finished yesterday, two weeks early.  A group of soldiers stood by saluting him for the final leg.


A mom who didn’t have face masks went viral after wearing her kid’s Buzz Lightyear helmet to the store.


Honestly, I think I’d attend a virtual service if filters were used all the time. That’s just me though.


Tons of people had to scrap their trips to Disney. Now, this doesn’t make up for it completely, but Disney released an official video so you can take a virtual ride on the Big Thunder Mountain Railroad.
