Why Walk a Mile?  Walk a Mile in Her Shoes® is an internationally growing campaign we’ve brought to Utah County where members of the community come together and walk for rape and sexual assault awareness. Specifically, men and women are invited to wear high heels, and literally walk a mile in “her” shoes; however wearing women’s shoes is not a requirement. Overall, this is a unique opportunity for everyone to show their support to all survivors that continue to endure through their own walk of life.

Please join us! The entire community is invited to walk – men, women & children.

When and Where: Walk a Mile in Her Shoes® will be April 9, 2011 at the Orem City Center at the corner of State Street and Center Street in Orem, Utah. A silent auction fundraiser will begin at 9 a.m. along with registration for the event. The walk will begin at 10 a.m.

Shoes: This march asks men & women to wear their own high heels or any women’s shoe for the event. If you are unable to walk in high heels, please come anyway and support the cause by walking side by side with those who can.

Cost: A $5 fee is required to register for the walk. It is meant to help cover the costs of the event. All money left over will be donated to the Center for Women and Children in Crisis. Bracelets will be on sale at the cost of $1.00 along with T-shirts at the cost of $5.00. We have a limited number of shirts available so come early!

Awards & Prizes:  Awards will be given for the man and woman with the most outstanding heels.

Walking in Heels:  Here is some advice for your first time in heels: Keep your legs straight and close together; with each step, point your feet and keep them straight in front of you. Start off slow and when you become more confident with your walking abilities increase your pace.

Registration: You can register online and pay the minimum $5 fee as well as make any additional donations, or bring a check or cash and register the day of. If you register at the event instead of online, please come early. Online registration is preferred.
