Might not have the legs but heel do...

THE MEN OF Wexford are being encouraged to wear women's shoes for a charity event in aid of Wexford Women's Refuge.

'Cycle a Mile in Her Shoes' will take place on Thursday and Friday, March 1 and 2 in the Bullring and at Tesco supermarket in Distillery Road.

The idea is that people hop on a static bike and cycle a mile while making a donation to the cause.

Organiser Kieran Mcguinness said participants are being encouraged to cycle in women's shoes.

Wexfordman Jim Walsh got into the spirit by posing for a promotional photo in red high heel shoes this week.

All the money raised will go to Wexford Women's Refuge in Distillery Road which provides shelter and support for victims of family violence.

This is the second year that the event has been run.

Last year the cycle was generously supported by members of the public and local businesses.

Everyone who contributes to this year's event will have their name entered ina draw for a weekend away in the Stillorgan Park Hotel, Dublin.
