Walk A Mile In Her Shoes – For Sanctuary House
Walk A Mile In Her Shoes is a community walk dedicated to increasing awareness of gender-based violence in support of Sanctuary House, a shelter for abused women and their children.
There will be an information table set up at Buttermilk Creek Fair if anyone is interested in finding out more about Walk A Mile.
This year there will be 5 walks occurring at noon in 5 communities: Plaster Rock, Perth-Andover, Florenceville-Bristol, Hartland and Woodstock. The goal is to raise $50,000 to support Sanctuary House.
Men of all ages are invited to walk on behalf of friends and family who are victims or survivors of gender-based violence. Women and children are also welcome to participate. Shoes will be available at registration.
