#StandWithTOMS

TOMS is so much more than cool sunglasses, espadrilles, and sneakers. They stand for improving lives, and we should sometimes take a moment to reflect on that. What started with giving shoes to children in need has now become much more than that. And that, that is something beautiful. Together with TOMS, I celebrate this week 70 million pairs of shoes given, 445,000 times the restoration of eyesight, 70,000 safe births, 400,000 weeks of clean water, and 44,000 helped youth. Do you know how many children, babies, mothers, and families that is? Exactly, a whole lot.

And unfortunately, we are not superheroes (at least I am not), otherwise we would have already arranged world peace, health, and wealth for everyone, right? What we can do is contribute our part. First of all, that means shopping at TOMS, duh, and this week taking a moment for the pin & post. In other words: share your (digital) pin for the Give that you stand for. Post it this week and share with your friends what you stand for. Use the #StandWithTOMS and you might also win tickets for the Global Citizen Festival in Hamburg. See you there?
