More than 4,000 people walked barefoot for the Bare Your Sole
2011 charity walk at Gardens by the Bay East in Tanjong Rhu
yesterday morning.
They covered distances of 2.5km and 4km in the walk organised by
non-profit organisation Habitat for Humanity and Barclays Bank.
More than $100,000 was raised, and the funds will go towards
helping the less fortunate in Singapore and across the
Asia-Pacific.
The event followed on the heels of last year's walk at East
Coast Park, which attracted 2,500 participants and raised
$160,000.
