250 Mile 'Push for Awareness'

MILANO WITH HER CART AND FLAGS
Rachel Milano made her way through Emanuel County these past few days. She has been walking since April 16, beginning in Savannah and making her way to Atlanta pushing a 3' by 8' wagon filled with American flags, which she places every mile or so on her route to promote child abuse awareness.

This single mother of five hit her 100th mile near Coleman Chapel A.M.E. outside of Swainsboro, and plans to reach her destination in next 18-20 days. The trip is around 270 miles. She is walking in memory of her sister, Heather, who passed away as a victim of circumstances as a child and to promote child abuse, child neglect, and sexual assault awareness through the group she started called STOP-WATCH & Respond.

She is adamant that the public should be aware of child abuse and neglect during more than just the month that draws attention to it.
