November
No shoes November
For the whole month of November, Cardiff University student Simon Dalton will not be wearing shoes, in order to raise awareness of the fact that hundreds of millions of people in the developing world cannot afford basic sanitation and food, let alone the plethora of shoes, boots, sandals, slippers, trainers etc., that we in the developing world own!
He is doing this as a fundraising event for Christian Aid.
During the month Simon will take part in one off challenges, such as walking up Pen-y-Fan. Should you wish to donate towards his effort, please visit his justgiving page at http://www.justgiving.com/NoShoesNovember
