Due to downtown construction, Piedmont Augusta Foundation is moving the 26th annual Miracle Mile Walk to a new location.
The event will be from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. on Saturday, Oct. 17, at the Old Train Depot at 509 Reynolds St., according to a news release.
The three-mile fun walk through downtown Augusta has historically drawn more than 10,000 participants, many of whom are supporting a family member, friend or co-worker diagnosed with breast cancer.
“One hundred percent of the Miracle Mile Walk’s net proceeds stays in the Augusta community to provide lifesaving screenings to women in the CSRA regardless of their ability to pay. The mammograms and other tests are performed in Piedmont Augusta’s Randy W. Cooper, M.D., Center for Breast Health Services and aboard Piedmont Augusta’s Mobile Mammography Unit,” the news release said.
Piedmont Augusta has this region’s first nationally accredited Breast Health Center. Since 2021, more than 134,000 exams or procedures have been performed and 3,102 have been diagnosed with cancer in our community. Piedmont Augusta is also home to the region’s first mobile mammography unit. Since 2002, the mobile has performed more than 95,000 mammograms in cities and towns in our 25-county region and helped uncover over 430 cases of breast cancer.
