Before the walk began a survivor of domestic violence gave a short talk. The person she was with at the time husband/live in friend shot her four times. She said she was shot in the head, chest and stomach. The doctors were able to remove the bullet in her head but she still carries the other bullets in her body. It was a very touching testimonial. The person who shot her is in prison for attempted murder.
I just had to get a few pictures of these guys wearing the high heeled shoes. Some of them were struggling to get around, but oddly enough some of the fellows strutted their stuff with ease. The weather was very warm on this particular day. Some of the guys wore socks, but some didn't. I can imagine that the heat and the friction from the shoes and walking a mile was very uncomfortable. I have to wonder how their feet felt the next day. I bet there were more than a few blisters.
It was nice to see the students getting involved in such a worth while project.The they money they raised will go to Safeplace and bring awareness of domestic violence.
Way to go guys.
