We are so excited about our 2018 events! We will have one 2-Day Training Walk per month to give you a chance to meet your fellow walkers, explore new walking trails, and get awesome snacks and drinks while you walk from our awesome B’Rest Stop Crew. We can’t wait to “Do the 2” together in 2018! More details and dates to come!
If you have a fundraiser of your own that you would like to share with your 2-Day Walkers & Crew, please e-mail us at wpack@2daywalk.org to have your event sent out in the weekly e-mail newsletter.
Join us for a 5 mile training walk on Saturday, April 21st! We will be meeting at the Georgia State University Perimeter College campus (park in Lot 10) at 8:00 am. There will be people there to direct you.

Join us for our next training walk in beautiful downtown Decatur, Saturday, May 19th at 8:00 am! We will be walking 5 miles through beautiful downtown and residential Decatur. We will begin walking promptly at 8:00 am, so please arrive a little early to get parked, stretch, and browse the 2-Day Store!
Please be sure to mark yourself as “Going” (rather than “Interested”) when you RSVP (Facebook event page coming soon!) so that we can have an accurate headcount for water and snacks. There are tons of great restaurants and shops in downtown Decatur, so make a day of it and grab lunch (or brunch!) with your family/teammates after you finish walking!
We will be meeting at the Selig property located at:
547 Church St
Decatur, GA 30030
Please remember to eat a light, healthy breakfast before you come, and to bring a starting bottle of water. If you need to turn in donations, or pick up additional change cans/brochures, you can do so prior to the start of the training walk!

The Georgia 2-Day Walk for Breast Cancer is an annual fundraising endurance walk that takes place on September 29-30, 2018, and takes participants through 30 miles of Atlanta over the course of 2 days. Last year, nearly 1,000 walkers committed to fundraising and training for this event.
The Georgia 2-Day Walk for Breast Cancer’s founder, Randi Passoff, began the 2-Day Walk in 2002 when the Avon 3-Day Walk faced financial difficulty and pulled out of Atlanta. Randi’s goal was to create a fundraising event where money raised stayed right in the communities of the participants. We call the 2-Day “the kinder and gentler breast cancer walk” because we strive to include passionate individuals at different levels of physical and fundraising ability- walkers can walk all 30 miles, or just choose to walk 10 miles on one day.
In 2017, over $1 million was raised from the Georgia 2-Day Walk for Breast Cancer! With the money from the walk, It’s The Journey, Inc. 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 women for whom these types of breast health measures are often not available.
Since 2002, the Georgia 2-Day Walk for Breast Cancer has funded 335 grants totaling $14 million to support breast health programs throughout Georgia. Our motto is “What’s raised in Georgia stays in Georgia.”
