Got Shoes?

(This Peruvian Foot Fetish of mine is getting out of control…. )

If you’re like me, you’re spoiled when it comes to athletic shoes.  I wear mine for a few months and then get new ones.  The old ones are still in great condition, though.  I have a stockpile of them in my closet.

Do you?

If so, give ‘em up.  I want to take a bag of gently-worn shoes down to Peru to all the athletes that have the heart but maybe not the “soles.”  There’s a youth athletic organization in Cusco that would love to receive them, even if only a few of the kids/teens benefit.  A lot of these kids have talent and drive but may be running around in Keds.  If you’re no longer using your kicks, someone else would love them. I promise!

If you’re in the Atlanta area and interested in helping, email me in the next week (amykloner@yahoo.com)  and we’ll coordinate the exchange.  If you want to be extra nice, throw them in the washing machine this weekend and you will make some kid’s day (ok . . .  and mine, too).

A big Peruvian GRACIAS!
