Augusta, Ga. (September 20, 2023) – The Piedmont Augusta Foundation will hold its 23rd annual Miracle Mile Walk from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. on Saturday, Oct. 21, at the Augusta Common, located at 836 Reynolds Street.
Saving lives through early detection of breast cancer is made possible by local support of the Miracle Mile Walk, a three-mile fun walk through scenic downtown Augusta, in which participants have the opportunity to support a family member, friend or co-worker diagnosed with breast cancer. Historically, more than 10,000 community members attend the event.
One hundred percent of the Miracle Mile Walk’s net proceeds stays in the Augusta community to provide lifesaving screenings to women in our community 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 the mobile mammography unit.
Piedmont Augusta has this region’s first nationally accredited Breast Health Center. Since 2021, more than 67,000 exams or procedures have been performed and 1,577 have been diagnosed with cancer in our community. Piedmont Augusta is also home to the region’s only mobile mammography unit. Since 2002, the Mobile has performed more than 80,000 mammograms in cities and towns in our 25-county region and helped uncover 375 cases of breast cancer.
