Colorado Walk To Collect Shoes For The Needy
Rick Hagans, founder of Harvest Evangelism, an Opelika based ministry, has been walking since Monday to collect shoes and raise awareness. His trek called Pilgrimage of Promise will be a walk across Colorado to collect shoes and will be the 34th state he has travelled, ever since he started this walk 16 years ago. Hagans's aim is to collect 10pairs of shoes for every mile of the 350 miles that he traverses.
Hagans started this trek initially to just get shoes donated. In the walk for raising shoes, this time he will be getting the company of his sons for some part of the walk.
Soles4Souls, a shoe company with philanthropic ideas, is going to donate 4000 pair of shoes while sponsoring the walk. Hagans will be distributing the shoes to an orphanage and other charitable organisations in and around Mexico during Christmas.
Hagans presumes it will take him around 25 days to conclude the walk.
