I'll be taking part in one of those "fund-raising runs" on Sunday, September 25th. It's to benefit Art From Ashes, a group that provides transformational creative programs for local youth who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgendered. The run is itself very short - only three city blocks - but there's a twist.
It has to be run in heels.
I've never so much as worn heels in my life. But I've decided this is a worthy cause, and I'm willing to give it a go.
Not surprisingly, most participants choose to dress up. Looking at the photos from last year, I saw a lot of ballernias and whatnot. But I decided to go the other way. I'll be making the run wearing a complete Colorado Mammoth indoor lacrosse uniform...and heels. I already have the jersey and shorts, and Mammoth GM Steve Govett has generously offered to lend me a stick and helmet to complete the ensemble.
So like this, but with a lacrosse stick. And heels.
If you'd like to donate to the cause, please hit me up on Facebook (Alf Ktcl) - I've got all the details there. And feel free to come watch me stumble around (and hopefully not fall - I have to return the stick) on Sunday, September 25th at 11am, in front of Steubben's on 17th Street in Denver.
