One Day Without Shoes Challange

                On April 10,2012 I am submitting a challenge to you from toms shoes to go the ENTIRE day without shoes. Why? You may be asking, well there is this company, TOMS Shoes. What TOMS does is when you buy a pair of their shoes they send a pair to children who don’t have shoes in other countries.

                So I bet you are wondering “why are you not just trying to get me to go buy shoes.” Well, April 10^th is known as the day without shoes, to bring attention to the fact that some people don’t have shoes.  When you’re not wearing shoes on that day and people ask you why, you tell them about all the people who don’t have shoes, and how they can help.

                Shoes help protect against injury, in combination with hygiene and sanitation, can help prevent soil-transmitted infections: such as: Podoconiosis ( a disfiguring soil based disease), Hookworm (can cause intestinal pain, weakness, cognitive impairments.) , and jiggers (burrowing fleas  that cause painful infection)

                So on April 10 I would like to see all of you without shoes! To learn more go here: www.onedaywithoutshoes.com
