Citizen Bytes: My barefoot challenge

Wednesday was the fourth full day of the challenge and I got my first blister on the bottom of my foot. It hurt pretty bad, and I can’t imagine what some children in the underdeveloped world must experience. The difference is that in a country like Canada, we have the medicines and disinfectant to heal it and patch it up in no time. Unfortunately, the millions of underprivileged kids around the world don’t have that kind of access to health care.

I was also invited to the Ontario Legislature that day to hear my member of provincial parliament for Richmond Hill, Reza Moridi, read a statement about my Barefoot Challenge. He participated and kicked off his shoes as well.
