More “Good News” Stories from the Coronavirus Outbreak
Here are a few more good news stories from the outbreak . . .
1. A six-year-old with spina bifida was inspired by the World War Two vet who walked for charity. So he started walking 30 feet a day, hoping to raise about $100. And last we checked, he’d raised over 300 GRAND on JustGiving.com.
2. A couple in D.C. got married in the middle of the street on Saturday. And ALL of their neighbors came out to watch while keeping a safe distance.
3. In the lead-up to Cinco de Mayo, the alcohol brand Jose Cuervo is buying lunch for 250 random people a day. Just tweet a photo of your receipt, with the hashtags “#CincoToGo” and “#CuervoContest.”
From now through Cinco de Mayo, Jose Cuervo will pick up the tab on thousands of to-go orders when you order food from a local, independent Mexican restaurant. Tweet us the receipt with #CincoToGo #CuervoContest. See official rules at https://t.co/re6ih5YPCI pic.twitter.com/WCPHG0i3O5
