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.
