All Darrell Ralph wants to do is to make kids smile and heB次元官网网址檚 doing exactly that.

The man behind Frankly Delicious Ice Cream cart seen around Garrison Crossing and in Vedder Park in recent weeks said he was literally shivering with joy as he served a few kids popsicles at his cart at the Cheam Centre Park on Tuesday.

B次元官网网址淚 wanted to do this to make people smile and make people happy,B次元官网网址 the 64-year-old told The Progress.

Getting around on a mobility scooter because he is an amputee due to cancer, Ralph found an ice cream B次元官网网址渢ricycleB次元官网网址 in Portland, Oregon.

He had the front cut off, got a bar welded on to the unit to connect to his scooter. He has a life guard umbrella from the east coast and he put B次元官网网址淚ce CreamB次元官网网址 lettering on it.

His iPad set up for digital payment and his City of Chilliwack business licence is evident.

And heB次元官网网址檚 off, cruising the streets, ringing his bells, making kids happy.

Selling all his wares for just $2 or $3, this is not a money-making venture, but he sure is selling out on these hot days.

B次元官网网址淲hat goes around in this world comes around,B次元官网网址 he says.

And while he didnB次元官网网址檛 want to talk in depth about his health issues, he said he had the same cancer as Terry Fox.

B次元官网网址淚f it wasnB次元官网网址檛 for Terry Fox I wouldnB次元官网网址檛 be here,B次元官网网址 he said.

How so? Because if not for all the money raised directly and indirectly over the years by Fox and now the Terry Fox Foundation, modern medicine would likely not be where itB次元官网网址檚 at in treating cancer.

If you want to catch Ralph and his cool treats, heB次元官网网址檒l be at the Vedder Art Walk starting at Vedder Park tomorrow. He also said heB次元官网网址檚 been invited to the Chilliwack Mural Festival on Aug. 20 and the on Aug. 21. And in recent warm days heB次元官网网址檚 at the Cheam Centre Park starting at 1:30 p.m.
