Registration open for popular Walk A Mile In Their Shoes YWCA fundraiser

Registration is open for what is arguably one of Peterborough’s most anticipated and beloved fundraising events.

Walk A Mile In Their Shoes, which raises money for YWCA programs and services for women and children fleeing gender-based violence, returns to Confederation Park on May 23rd.

Registration for the noon walk around downtown Peterborough costs $40 until May 1st and can be done online at www.walkamilepeterborough.ca. Both individuals and teams can register.

YWCA philanthropy director Tina Thornton says the popularity of the annual event is rooted in its inclusivity.

While the YWCA hosts a number of fundraisers each year, Thornton says Walk A Mile Their Shoes is the most popular.

Thornton says every dollar raised supports the YWCA’s Journey of Care programs.
