Your Feel Good Friday Stories for this week….
1. Walt Disney World always puts up massive gingerbread house displays for the holidays. And they just posted a video about what happens to all that gingerbread when the holidays are over. Instead of tossing it, they dismantle it all . . . take it to a farm . . . and let BEES eat it. They apparently love the stuff.
2. There’s a semi-annual fundraiser for gamers called Games Done Quick, where people do “speedruns” and try to beat games as fast as possible while fans donate. And their latest event raised a record amount of money for the Prevent Cancer Foundation. It happened last week, and they raised over $3.4 million.
3. A sheriff in Louisiana let his deputies grow out their beards to raise money for No Shave November. They’re usually not allowed to have beards, and had to pay $25 a month if they wanted to do it. It ended up raising $4,000 for charity. So now he’s keeping it going for all of 2022, and letting them keep their beards for $20 a month.
4. Did you hear about the medical helicopter that crashed in Philadelphia last week? The pilot and all three people on board made it out alive, including the two-month old baby that was being transported. The pilot’s name is Daniel Moore, and he’s been in the hospital recovering. But he’s home now, and did an interview the other day where he said he’s NOT a hero. The helicopter landed right next to a church, but didn’t hit anybody. He says God must have been his “co-pilot” that day.
