one day without shoes?

Mark your calendars, friends; 4/10/12 is Toms’ “One Day without Shoes” event.

What I love about this is its ‘no frills’ approach. Simply spread the word and take off your shoes for one day to help raise awareness about the importance of footwear (something we often take for granted). Milions of children around the world go without shoes on a regular basis, exposing them to injury and illness, among other things.

If you want to kick it up a notch, you can download the *free* DIY kit (signage, etc.) and give the event even more real world presence. KONY 2012 folks, this is how it’s done.

It won’t cost you any money.

It may be a bit uncomfortable (I recommend being prepared with groceries, gas in the car, etc.).

But it will help you live one of my mantras: do something every day to be part of the solution (Anne Lamott).
