Red Shoes Rock! is about every day kiwis stepping out in red shoes to build awareness of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) during September. RJ Formanek is an adult living with FASD. Formanek sparked Red Shoes Rock! five years ago when he decided to wear red shoes to stand out from the crowd, get people talking, and make FASD visible - now its gone global!
Join us during FASD awareness month and help continue the conversation.
FASD is recognised as the leading preventable cause of intellectual disability in the developed world. It’s about all of us, our future children, and it's about the choices we make around our drinking. Many of us have, or will make a choice to have or not have a drink while pregnant. Evidence shows that there is no known safe amount to drink while pregnant. Find more information about FASD research and prevention here.
If we are going to give our children the best start in life we need to be informed, so we need to get talking.
Pledge to Wear Red Shoes this September and we'll send you an action pack with a badge and resources to help you get the conversation started.
