How did we miss sharing something this good? 💙

Duane Vermeulen took on former Celtic owner, Jimmy Augousti, in our Trolley Dash Challenge earlier this year - and after two action-packed minutes, Jimmy raced away with the win! 🏆🛒

But the real win went far beyond the trolley.

Each participant chose where their donation would go, supporting the WWJD Trust and Die Herberg Kinderhuis - and Econofoods matched the winnings for each, doubling the impact.

Big energy. Bigger hearts. And one seriously feel-good challenge.

This is how we improve lives. 💙 Living the moment one more time
