White Ribbon Campaign Walk

In an hour or so, I'll be off into the town centre for an event called, These Heels Were Made For Walking Charity Walk.

I and about fifty other men will be slipping on pairs of high heels and strutting our stuff on the mean streets of Hebden Bridge.

The White Ribbon Campaign is the largest effort in the world of men working to end male violence against women.

This is part of a series of events in White Ribbon Week and the lead up to White Ribbon Day on the 25th of November.

Whilst Mayor of Hebden Royd last year, I managed to get the Town Council to sign up to become the first White Ribbon town in the UK, thanks to Chris Green and my fellow councillors.

I'll post after the walk, if I haven't twisted my ankle!
