Get ready to celebrate survivors, support breast health awareness and make a difference in the fight against breast cancer at the annual Paper Doll Parade and Breast Cancer Awareness 5K, presented by Rome-Floyd Parks and Recreation and sponsored by Atrium Health Floyd, Atrium Health Floyd-Polk Foundation and the Floyd Spirit Foundation. The event returns to Ridge Ferry Park on Saturday, Sept. 26, bringing together families, friends, survivors and supporters for an evening dedicated to hope, education and community. The 5K, a Peachtree Road Race qualifier, begins at approximately 5 p.m., followed by the 2-mile Paper Doll Parade health walk at 5:15 p.m. A longtime symbol of breast health education in Northwest Georgia, Atrium Health Floyd’s iconic paper dolls will once again be showcased throughout the park in festive athletic attire. The dolls represent an important message championed by the Atrium Health Floyd Breast Center: Knowledge is Power. Through education, early detection and access to high-quality breast care, women are empowered to take charge of their health and improve outcomes. The Breast Center at Atrium Health Floyd provides comprehensive breast imaging, diagnostic services and compassionate support close to home. Events like the Paper Doll Parade help raise awareness about the importance of routine screenings and encourage women to have conversations about breast health with their healthcare providers. Participants can take pride in knowing their involvement…
