The Ankle and Foot Centers of Georgia were pleased to have volunteers take part in the 9th annual 2-day Breast Cancer Walk, hosted by It's The Journey, to raise funds and awareness for breast cancer research.

Atlanta, GA, United States., October 28, 2011 - (PressReleasePoint) - Volunteers from the Ankle and Foot Centers of Georgia were pleased to take part in the 9th annual 2-day Breast Cancer Walk, which raises funds and awareness for breast cancer research. The walk is hosted by It's The Journey, a local non-profit organization dedicated to helping those affected by breast cancer.
 
Staff members and volunteer doctors of podiatry from The Ankle and Foot Centers of Georgia assisted those who were participating in the 2-day walk, which spanned 20 miles on the first day and 10 miles on the second day.  At various stations along the route, they examined and treated walkers with foot ailments which included everything from sprained ankles to blisters.
 
“The fight against breast cancer is not a single battle,” Dr. Joseph GIovinco said. “It’s an ongoing struggle that is faced with courage and determination. It is, in fact, a journey. From innocence to mature awareness, and a voyage such as this should never be taken lightly. After taking part in such an extraordinary event we will think of those who have walked their course or simply could not complete their journey in the fight against breast cancer.”
 
This year's walk took walkers on a scenic and memorable route which led them through historic in-town neighborhoods, new developing areas, parkways, including lunch on the lawn of the Governor’s Mansion before finishing at Pemberton Place at The World of Coca-Cola.
 
“It was by far an emotional weekend for everyone.  For the walkers, it was the challenge of completing the journey for themselves, in honor of a friend, a family member or simply for the cause. For the volunteers it was the echoes of the heart-felt stories, the tears in walkers’ eyes, and the language of walkers’ bodies telling the stories of their pain who at the end of it all would say, “If I can survive cancer, I can endure a few blisters.”
