Graham And Bell Go Barefoot for Anti-Poverty Campaign

Hollywood actresses Heather Graham and Kristen Bell are urging their fansto go barefoot for a day - to raise awareness of poverty-stricken children who can't afford shoes.

The stars are teaming up with American footwear firm Toms Shoes and ditching their stilettos on 8 April (10) to prove how difficult it is to live without shoes - and they're hoping the campaign will encourage people to give generously to the cause.

Bell explains, "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".

And Graham admits she's terrified about the prospect of walking barefoot, adding "I'm pretty nervous about it because I live in New York City and it's really, really gross here".

Hairspray star Brittany Snow and documentary filmmaker Morgan Spurlock are among the other stars to take on the challenge.
