WHAT IS WALK A MILE IN HER SHOES?
KGNB/KNBT’s Walk a Mile in Her Shoes: Men raising money and racing against one another in a way they never expected!
In 2020, on heels of a year that pushed all of us to change in many ways, Walk a Mile in Her Shoes was met with exuberant applause from this community!
That first year and every year since, a dedicated group of guys put themselves in someone else’s shoes, stepping up to raise money for charities that are critical in our community. Walk a Mile contestants commit to walk, trot and tip toe in high heels in public. They’re good sports! They do the heavy lifting ahead of time, each raising money for our beneficiaries while also saving their own feet a bit. The more money they raise, the better their starting line advantage when it’s time to race. They’re motivated!
