Yesterday saw the fourth annual Red Shoe Crew Walk held in Portage la Prairie.

The three kilometre family walk was in support of Ronald McDonald House Charities Manitoba which supports families when their young children need medical care. Development Communications Officer Eden Ramsay shares the importance of the charity.

"We believe families are stronger together," states Ramsay, "and we keep families close through our two core programs (Ronald McDonald House and the Ronald McDonald Family room) when it's needed most. When their child is going through sickness or a serious injury it's so important for them to be kept close and near the resources they need to thrive and survive."

Yesterday's walk was held at Island Park.
