On Sunday, you can put your foot down and show that you understand by taking part in "Walk A Mile In Her Shoes." The event benefits the domestic violence programs of Jewish Family Services, Sojourner Truth House and the Task Force on Family Violence.
Here's the catch. Men, organizers ask that you walk a mile in high-heeled women's shoes (it's optional, of course, but it's the name of the event so you had better!) to raise awareness and funds for programs that help those affected by rape, sexual assault and gender violence.
It's the first year of this event and I'll admit while it scares me a bit, I love the hook. My wife (and nearly every woman I know) complains about walking in high heels. How hard can it be? I'll regret that last line, I'm sure!
Anyway, "Walk a Mile in Her Shoes" is Sunday on the UW-Milwaukee campus at the Union Concourse. Registration begins at 9:30 a.m., and the walk begins at 11 a.m. The $20 adult registration fee includes a T-shirt and high-heeled shoes (for men). Fees are not tax deductible.
