Just last week, Ecorazzi reported that Kristen Bell had teamed up with TOMS shoes to support and raise awareness for “One Day Without Shoes” — a new campaign to see firsthand what life is like for kids who spend every day without a pair of shoes to wear. But the celeb support doesn’t stop at Bell!

Actress Brittany Snow is the latest star to lend her name to TOMS’ important campaign. Snow recorded a video about her involvement, saying:

“I’m really excited to go barefoot on April 8th for One Day Without Shoes. It’s really important to me because it helps raise awareness for kids who…have infections and diseases and things caused by not having shoes…If you can go one day without shoes, come join us and help spread awareness for this great cause!”

According to the campaign’s website, in Ethiopia, “approximately one million people are suffering from Podoconiosis, a debilitating and disfiguring disease caused by walking barefoot in volcanic soil.” Wow!

On a side note, Brittany and I actually grew up in the same hometown and even did a few shows together back in the day. I’m thrilled to see her all grown up and working hard for such an important cause!
