A resident of Martinez, Georgia, Dr. George Snelling is a retired dentist who now serves in the real estate investment industry and performs volunteer work. Dr. George Snelling supports numerous national and local nonprofit organizations, one of which is the University Health Care Foundation Miracle Mile Walk.
The University Health Care Foundation develops and acquires financial resources to help those in the community in Augusta, Georgia. In 2001, a University Health Care Foundation board member named Queenie Jones came up with the idea for the Miracle Mile Walk to raise money and awareness for the fight against breast cancer. In the inaugural walk, 90 walkers raised $3,000.
Today, the three-mile walk takes place every year on the third Saturday of October and starts at Augusta Commons. Anyone who donates at least $100 or is a cancer survivor receives a free T-shirt. The 18th annual walk is scheduled for October 20, 2018.
