Why I am Participating:
My life has been shaped by strong women: an adopted mother, an amazing wife, and my wife’s grandmother. Each of them shared their unique brand of love that created the lens through which I try to view the world. While Grandma Kay was a breast cancer survivor, I chose to join this campaign to celebrate local ladies who inspire those around them. Fleet Feet employee Nancy Smith and avid adventure woman Liz Ackley are two such women in our running communities. At Fleet Feet, we believe movement changes everything, and it’s up to each of us to lead the way. Sole Stars provides the opportunity to be that movement. Plus, I can’t say no to free shoes.

Because this disease is scary enough, and no woman should have to be burdened with financial stress as they fight for their life.

What is a Sole Star?
The Sole Stars campaign engages leaders in our communities as representatives in the fight against breast cancer. During the month-long campaign, each Sole Star will raise or give a minimum of $1,000, which will be used to support the work of the Virginia Breast Cancer Foundation (VBCF.) The money raised through the Roanoke Sole Stars campaign will pay for breast health services like diagnostic mammograms, MRIs, ultrasounds and biopsies for uninsured and underinsured women in Southwest Virginia.
Sole (noun): the undersurface of a shoe; the sole is meant to provide footwear with the necessary support, giving traction and protection from the surfaces it will be in contact with.
Star (noun): a celebrated, prominent or distinguished person; synonym: VIP · (very) important person.
VBCF Sole Star (noun): a very important person providing support for our mission to eradicate breast cancer by raising awareness and funds in their community and providing traction for our mission; willing to have fun while wearing awesome pink shoes!
