Thank you for making “Walk a Mile in Her Shoes” Year 2 such a success!
Over 80 people came out to support creating a safer community for everyone.
Forty men donned women’s shoes and walked a mile to:
- raise awareness about violence against women,
- demonstrate their efforts to make a safer community for everyone, and
- raise funds to support Women’s Place – Elgin’s Emergency Shelter for women and children
Together $7,000 was raised!
Leaders in funds raised were:
- Greg Currie, Volunteer at Victim Services Elgin
- Craig Storey, Abbeydale Animal Hospital; and
- St. Thomas Police Services and Aylmer Police Services
Check out the picture gallery from the day.
