The first Walk in Their Shoes fundraiser raised $30,210 for Mothers with a Heart for Ethiopia.
WOODSTOCK - The rainy weather did not stop the first-ever Walk in Their Shoes from being a huge success.
The walking portion of the event was moved inside South Gate Centre on Saturday with 86 people participating.
Shelley Green, the Founder of Mothers with a Heart for Ethiopia, says they were able to raise $30,210. This is well over the $12,000 goal they originally had in mind.
"We are so thrilled by this incredible result. We had modest goals for A Walk in Their Shoes during its first year, but our wonderful walkers, team captains, and donors far surpassed our expectations."
All of the money will be going to Mothers with a Heart for Ethiopia's projects overseas including the Girls Gotta Run Foundation and Tesfa's Shelter. You can read more about all of the projects online here.
The organization would like to thank everyone for their support including their sponsors, Heart FM and the Shoppers Drug Mart locations in Oxford County.
Mothers with a Heart for Ethiopia is now getting ready to host two holiday fundraisers.
