Febshoeary

It's February.

WRONG. It's Febshoeary!

Eh? What's Febshoeary, you ask? Well, it's a charity fashion challenge.

If you follow my blog, have read previous posts, or know me at all in any way, you'll know that I have a bit of a shoe fetish. It's bordering on the ridic. So ridic, in fact, that I started to feel a bit silly about the whole thing. Especially when there are literally millions of people worldwide who don't have any shoes at all.

Over 1.4 billion people worldwide suffer from diseases that could be prevented if they did have shoes. Diseases such as Podoconiosis (aka Elephantitis) are 100% preventable with basic foot hygiene and by wearing shoes.

Yet we put thousands of tons of perfectly good footwear and apparel in landfills each year.

So I’ve launched Febshoeary to help raise money and awareness for the real “shoe problem”.

For the entire month of February, I’ll give up all of my shoes, except one pair – a pair of killer 4.5-inch heels. I’ll do every thing in them – my daily three hour commute, bike rides, Zumba classes, gym sessions, bowling, horse-riding, sledding… EVERYTHING.

My month-long journey will be documented on my sexy new website www.febshoeary.com, as a daily online diary of my progress, and to basically prove "YEAH, I'm killing my feet for charity".

So if you want to help make my shoe pain worthwhile, make a donation.

Only £1 can buy a pair of shoes for someone in need. £1. 

Every penny goes to Soles4Souls – an amazing charity which has already given shoes to more than 19 million people worldwide.

So spread the word, share the website, blog about it, tweet about it, and if you fancy it DONATE!
