I'm participating in an exciting challenge called Walk in Her Shoes.
In the poorest communities around the world, women and girls are often the ones tasked to collect water, firewood or other basic necessities of life. They walk on average 6 kilometers a day, often much more, carrying the equivalent of a suitcase. This leaves little time to attend school, access health services or earn money to support their families.
Yet when women and girls are empowered to tackle these issues, whole families and communities benefit.
To help make a difference I’ve decided to join the Walk in Her Shoes challenge to raise funds to help fight global poverty. I need your support to reach my fundraising goal!
Please support my Walk in Her Shoes challenge by sponsoring me today! You can make a secure online donation using your credit card or PayPal. Just click on the link below:

Your donation will go to CARE Canada to empower women and girls to improve their lives and the lives of those around them. You will help communities earn a living, access education, health care, clean drinking water and so much more.
Thank you for supporting me. Together we will make a difference!
