HapiFridDay friends! It's time to commemorate a day of triumph and progress!

On March 24th, 1990, the Women's History Project was signed into law by President George H.W. Bush, designating the month of March as Women's History Month in the United States. This momentous decision celebrated and recognized the vital role of women throughout history and their countless contributions to society.

Today, we honor the strength, courage, and achievements of women from all walks of life, as they continue to break barriers and inspire generations.

Let their stories empower and unite us as we get into HapiFriDay News Roundup! 👇

14-Year-Old with Size 23 Feet Gets Shoe Deal 👟

14-year-old Eric Kilburn Jr., who has size 23 feet, will receive custom footwear from Under Armour and PUMA after his mother's search for shoes that fit him went viral. Companies like Under Armour and PUMA have stepped in to help, offering to measure and custom-make shoes for Eric, including sneakers, basketball shoes, and football cleats.

Overwhelmed by the support, the Kilburn family is looking to pay it forward by creating a "Big Shoe Network" group on Facebook to help other parents facing similar issues finding larger-sized shoes for their children. The initiative aims to alleviate the stress experienced by parents in finding the right shoes for their children.
