To date, this initiative has donated thousands of school shoes and has impacted hundreds of children over the 11 years of its existence. Evolving from just a few walkers to hundreds of walkers, mountain bikers, Soccer and netball teams participating in a fun filled healthy activity day to be enjoyed by both the young and old coming from a wide range of economic backgrounds.
