Walk a Mile in Their Shoes is on Wednesday June 9th at the Hamilton City Hall starting at 11am.
"Gender-based violence is an epidemic in our communities. Now more than ever, women, children and gender-diverse people need support to escape violence and rebuild their lives.
Since 2009, thousands of people have walked in solidarity with survivors of violence, and we're counting on Hamilton and Halton to come together to raise awareness and $150,000+ to make our community safer for all. "
If you are able register to walk, sponsor a team, donate directly or consider volunteering:

The marketplace will not be part of the event this year, but I will continue fundraising with these iconic keychains.
The heels stand for empowerment and the assertive step forward - afterall, the first step is always the hardest. Paired with a red shell bead meaning resilience, protection, healing and change - core values behind the event and services.
$2 from every one sold goes to in support of Walk a Mile and the services needed in our community.
Pick up and lettermail shipping available, $5 each.
