Troy Record: Samaritan Hospital Sexual Assault Program Expands With Troy Housing Authority Sites

Hundreds of men donned women’s high-heeled shoes and go-go boots at Troy’s Riverfront Park for Samaritan Hospital’s 9th Annual “Walk a Mile in Her Shoes.” The event challenges men to literally walk a mile in women’s shoes to show support for victims of sexual assault and gender crimes. NewsChannel 13’s Dan Bazile was the master of ceremonies.
