The Georgia 2-Day Walk for Breast Cancer is an annual fundraising endurance walk that takes place on September 28-29, 2024, and takes participants through 30 miles of Atlanta over the course of 2 days.
With the money from the walk, the Georgia Alliance for Breast Cancer (formerly It’s The Journey) is able to fund grants that serve over 100 counties in Georgia. These programs provide mammograms, clinical breast exams, genetic counseling and testing, biopsies, support services, education, and much more. Many of our grants have a specific focus on under-served individuals in our community- uninsured and under-insured patients for whom these types of breast health measures are often not available.
Since 2002, the Georgia 2-Day Walk for Breast Cancer has funded 554 grants totaling $19 million to support breast health programs throughout Georgia.

The Georgia 2-Day Walk for Breast Cancer is an annual fundraising endurance walk that takes place on October 4-5, 2025. Participants will cover 30 miles across Cobb County over two days – Saturday and Sunday – staying overnight at the
Renaissance Atlanta Waverly Hotel . Last year, nearly 1,000 walkers committed to fundraising and training for this event. View our 2025 Ultimate Guide to the 2-Day.
Georgia Alliance for Breast Cancer (formerly It’s the Journey) is a local nonprofit established in 2002 by breast cancer survivor Randi Passoff. Inspired by the Avon 3‑Day Breast Cancer Walk, Randi envisioned a gentler, more welcoming event – and so launched the Georgia 2‑Day Walk for Breast Cancer.
Rather than walking 60 miles over three days and camping out, participants now walk 30 miles across two days and stay in hotels. Best of all, every dollar raised here in Georgia stays in Georgia, supporting local survivors and initiatives.
