How Much: $35 registration fee to support S.A.F.E. Place

The 7th annual "Walk A Mile In Her Shoes" is Saturday, and although I may not be putting on a dress or high heels this year, I will be there to support the cause.

The 5k "Run for Shelter" was added a couple of years ago for those of you who prefer Nike to Jimmy Choo.

Registration is $35 for either event, and monies raised support S.A.F.E. Place.

It is a fun day for men to stand beside the women in their life and literally walk a mile in her shoes by slipping into high heels and suffering through a one mile walk to show support and raise money for S.A.F.E. Place.
