Turn 2 Massage assists in veterans walk

ATLANTA (May 13, 2014) - Turn 2 Massage helped provide some relief to veterans and their loved ones walking 2,000 miles across the country to raise support for those who served.

 

On Tuesday, Turn 2 Massage assisted participants in the Carry The Load walk during their stop in Atlanta. The group is walking from West Point to Dallas to spread the word on restoring the true meaning of Memorial Day by connecting Americans to the sacrifices of our military, firefighters, law enforcement and rescue personnel.

Turn 2 Massage set up at shift change locations to provide 15-minute foot massages to the volunteer walkers, which have completed more than 1,000 miles to date. The group, which is beyond the halfway point, is scheduled to head to Chattanooga following its visit to Georgia.

 

“We wish we could have done more for this great cause,” DiGaetano said. “Their presence definitely made us think about the real meaning of Memorial Day and the sacrifice they have given.”
