Ahnu Footwear Review and Breast Cancer Prevention initiative

I am excited to introduce you to another company that gives back! It warms my heart to hear about companies doing good things, and to learn there are so many of them is nothing short of amazing. The company I am so excited about today is Ahnu Footwear.

Ahnu footwear is excited to announce a Breast Cancer prevention initiative Spring 11. For each pair of women’s Numentum™ performance shoes sold in April and May 2011, the brand will donate $5 to the Breast Cancer Fund, the leading organization working to identify and eliminate the environmental causes of breast cancer. The initiative takes place in more than 150 doors nationwide, and online at www.onlineshoes.com

Ahnu has already contributed more than $20,000 to the Breast Cancer Fund through the Plus 3 Network, social network that connects people with corporate sponsors and worthwhile causes on a lasting journey of personal fitness and charitable giving. Ahnu chose the Breast Cancer Fund as one of its causes the past two years, and expects to donate a total of $30,000 through Plus 3 Network before the end of 2011.

Ahnu’s prevention mission is tied to 10 women’s performance styles featuring Numentum™ Technology for Run, Hike and Traverse (outdoor cross training) categories. Ahnu Footwear let me review one of the the shoes from these categories, and I chose the Sausalito in Starlight Blue. Aren’t these cute?

I have been wearing the Sausalito tennis shoes since they arrived and I absolutely love them.  Not only are they incredibly cute, but they are really comfy {and I am VERY particular about my tennis shoes}.  The quality of these shoes is excellent and I foresee them lasting me a long, long time.  I have begun a fitness program and want to incorporate walking into it, and I know these will be comfortable for the really long walks I take.  There is nothing worse than wanting to do the right thing, only to be so uncomfortable that you can’t 🙁

Remember, every time a shopper purchases one of the 10 women’s performance styles featuring Numentum™ Technology for Run, Hike or Traverse at www.ahnu.com, Ahnu will donate $5 to The Breast Cancer Fund. The company’s goal is to raise $100,000.
