Photos / Supplied Bay of Plenty Times By: Rebecca Mauger Pals Vini Williams and Jack Keeys aren't the sort to sit around with their feet up. The ex-Paeroa friends decided to put their tootsies to the test and raise money for underprivileged children by walking barefoot for 100km in five days — and they've just returned. Their actual time — due to unforeseen circumstances — turned out to be 113km in 101 hours but the pair are proud as punch and have raised nearly $10,000.
