Hollywood – from movies.ndtv.com – Hollywood beauties Heather Graham and Kristen Bell are planning to walk barefoot for a day to raise awareness about poverty-stricken children who don’t have the luxury of wearing shoes.

The two stars are teaming up with American footwear firm TOMS Shoes and ditching their stilettos on 8 April to prove how difficult it is to live without shoes, Contactmusic reported.

They’re also urging fans to come forward and participate generously to the cause.

“I’m going barefoot for one day without shoes to raise awareness about the impact a simple pair of shoes can have on a child’s life. So join me on April 8. Take off your shoes and spread the word,”
Bell said.

However Graham admits she is not very comfortable about the prospect of walking barefoot.

“I’m pretty nervous about it because I live in New York City and it’s really, really gross here,” Graham said.

Hairspray star Brittany Snow and documentary filmmaker Morgan Spurlock are the other Hollywood A-listers who have decided to be a part of this endeavour.
