Krispy Kreme Impact

 Chris has a remarkable sense of humor about this, which is partly why, when Krispy Kreme heard about his plotting through a Facebook post, they didn’t threaten prosecution. Instead, they offered transportation—specifically, a bus -- a bus stocked with donuts.

And so, for an entire day, Chris, his family and friends went on this rolling sugar high, joyfully delivering to city parks, cancer wards and children’s hospitals.

“We’re glad to make some people smile,” he says.

 But the biggest smile of the day belonged to Chris himself. Remember, his original dream was to show up at a school -- and here he was, at his old high school.

Which leads us to what this was really all about. Chris says if dying has taught him anything, it’s about how to live. He says you have to do what you can to make people smile while you still have the chance. He really wants kids, especially to know that.

“Because if I can’t impact people, this whole thing is a waste,” he says.
