The 2011 YWCA Walk a Mile In Her Shoes event was a huge success! Men from across Calgary strapped on some high heels yesterday to help raise some money and awareness for domestic violence in our city. The event raised an amazing $287,000 yesterday and it was fun to be able to participate again this year. I was fortunate enough to raise $1950 for this event and I am so thankful for everyone's support. As mentioned in a previous post, most of my donations where obtained from social media contacts ( Twitter and Facebook) along with some of my co-workers. I was also humbled by the fact that so many politicians from all political stripes ( including Wildrose candidates and even party leader Danielle Smith) donated to this loyal PC party hack.
I promised that I would share some pictures and video of the event, so here you go....
I have to admit that my calves are killing me today! I really have no idea how women could possibly walk in these shoes all day long.
Thanks again to everyone for their support of this amazing organization.
