by Matt Fagioli on October 22, 2008

This coming Friday-Sunday, October 24-27, 2008 there will be thousands of woman and men walking in the Susan G. Komen 3-Day breast cancer walk through the streets of Atlanta.

My beautiful wife Carmen, and a number of other Hamilton Mill ladies are participating in this wonderful event. The Hamilton Mill “For the Girls” team is getting excited and ready to take make this journey. The walk covers over 60 miles in three days and will be a wonderful opportunity to again support breast cancer research in hopes of finding a cure.

The Team consists of: Jennifer Clark, Maya Brice, Lisa Burkett, Stephanie Comings, Mallory Eison, Zaida Figueroa, Mary Ellen Glowaski, Heather Korey, Meredith Oys, Jenny Peeples, Jennifer Ruhl, Rachel Staples, Jennifer Van Sumeren and of course my wife Carmen Hermes

The walk will eventually end on Sunday at the Georgia World Congress Center but along the way there will be numerous “Cheering Stations” that you can come out and show your support.

On Saturday the stations are as follows:

Cheering Stations
Cheering Stations are a great way to show your support along the route to encourage walkers and let them know that you are with them every step of the way. Seeing familiar faces cheering them on can provide that extra burst of energy that gets them to take that next step or go the next mile. Create banners, hold up signs, bring some music and make some noise – anything to make them smile, get energized and keep walking.
