Walk a Mile in Their Shoes Set for Saturday

The 16th annual Walk a Mile in Their Shoes event is on Saturday at the Meridian Bridge.

Cassie Nagel, the Executive Director at the River City Domestic Violence Center, says that the event helps raise awareness to the community about domestic violence and sexual assault.

In correlation with the walk, River City Family Connections (RCFC) will host a Family Fun Day.

Sarah Chmelar with RCFC says that they will have games, inflatables, a dunk tank, and local heroes from emergency services.

Nagel says that despite the success of the Walk a Mile in Their Shoes event, this will be the last year of the event because they want to try new ideas to raise awareness.

Family Fun Day will begin at 10 a.m., with registration for the walk at 11 a.m., and the walk at noon on Saturday.
