The Annual Fight Cancer Walk is hosted by the Atlanta Ice Cream Festival in memory of Leah K. Dortch. Leah Dortch was one of the very first to hear the pitch of the Atlanta Ice Cream Festival. Her unwavering support evolved and her company became our official event planning company. 

Leah fought a tough battle against Liver & Bile Cancer throughout 2015-2016. In July 2016, she transitioned to a permanent place of peace. She is survived by her two children who are incurring educational expenses. All donations and revenue generated from this Fight Cancer Walk will be donated to the Leah K. Dortch Foundation for their post-secondary academic expenses. Thank you in advance for your support and participation. 

This walk takes place inside Piedmont Park around the Meadows path. Come walk one lap, five or just pledge your support to the many other participating families. Together as family we can provide the support required to honor families impacted by this horrific disease of cancer. We look forward to having you join the walk.
