On Sept 26th 2013 (lunch hour) help end violence toward women and girls. Ready to take up the high heel challenge & walk a mile in her shoes. Stiletto or pump, flat or sling back, patent leather or leopard print — you decide. www.walkamiletoronto.org
There is an old saying: “You can’t really understand another person’s experience until you’ve walked a mile in their shoes.”
That’s why we’re asking you to put on a pair of high heels and join the White Ribbon Campaign to Walk A Mile in Her Shoes®.
On Thursday September 26th, 2013 we’re all going to help end violence against women and girls, one man-sized step at a time.
The creators of this benefit for the White Ribbon Campaign take the phrase literally as participants walk one mile in female footwear to raise funds and awareness about violence against women.
With this year marking Toronto’s fifth annual event, registration begins 11:30 a.m., with the walk kicking off at 12:45 p.m. An online guide of where to buy your big boy heels, and a practice with the pack event are offered to prepare participants for the big walk.
Last year’s participants raised $145,000 for the White Ribbon Campaign, a global movement of men and boys who promote gender equality and a new vision of masculinity. This year’s goal is to raise $250,000.
