Are you ready to give up your shoes for the day– or even 30 minutes?This one small step for you can make big strides for others.
Wherever you are on April 5th, TOMS Shoes is asking you to join the One Day Without Shoes movement by doing at least one thing on this day without wearing your shoes. Last year over 250,000 people went without shoes and over 1,600 events took place around the globe to raise awareness of the impact a pair of shoes can have on a child’s life. Previous celebrity participants include Demi Moore, Jordin Sparks, The Jonas Brothers, The Olsen Twins and more. So, join the movement and ditch your kicks to help spread the word. It doesn’t matter where you are or what you are doing, gather your friends and family and make a difference
