ROCKDALE COUNTY, GA–As breast cancer continues to affect millions nationwide, Rockdale County Clerk of Superior and State Courts Janice Morris announces the 2nd Annual Breast Cancer Awareness event, “Walk a Mile in Their Shoes” in Rockdale County.

Last year was the first time Morris held this event. The courthouse staff, along with county employees wore pink clothing and walked during their lunch breaks to show support for those fighting breast cancer and survivors.

Morris is calling on everyone again this year for the 2nd Annual Walk a Mile in Their Shoes event. She is asking the community at large, together with the county, and city employees, to walk a mile between the hours of 11a.m.- 2 p.m. on Oct. 4.  Participants are encouraged to wear pink during the walk.

“If breast cancer affects one of us, it affects all of us,” said Morris, adding that las year’s event was a huge success.

In 2024, an estimated 310,720 new cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed in women in the U.S., as well as 56,500 new cases of non-invasive (in situ) breast cancer, according to the National Breast Cancer Foundation. There are currently over 4 million breast cancer survivors in the United States. An estimated 42,250 U.S. women will die from breast cancer in 2024.

In the light of recent advancements in breast cancer research, her goal is to provide hope and uplift breast cancer survivors and fighters.
