I'm going barefoot tomorrow

I'm joining Toms Shoes and going barefoot tomorrow - and here is why :)   


I would LOVE to have you join me!

THE FACTS

  • Fact #2: Cuts and sores on feet can lead to serious infection.
  • Fact #3: Often, children cannot attend school barefoot.
  • Fact #4: In Ethiopia, approximately one million people are suffering from Podoconiosis, a debilitating and disfiguring disease caused by walking barefoot in volcanic soil.
