Peachtree

City is this year's site for the annual La

Leche's League walk for families.

Sponsored

walk will begin with registration Saturday at

10:30 a.m. at the Frederick Brown Jr.

Amphitheater off McIntosh Trail and commence at

11 a.m., winding along the city's golf cart paths

approximately one and two-thirds miles.

"The

purpose of the walk is to promote awareness of

breast-feeding," said Ellen Pfundt, one of

the organizers. While donations are not required

for participation, contributions are appreciated.

The group's fund-raising efforts are used for

providing support in the form of written and oral

information to mothers who breast-feed.

Participants

are encouraged to bring a picnic lunch, and stay

for the children's activities, sponsored by local

La Leche families following the trek. Tours of

Flat Creek Nature Center, which is next to the

amphitheater, also will be available.

The

La Leche League has supported and encouraged

mothers to breast-feed their children for more

than 40 years. Proponents claim breast-feeding

contributes to their babies' overall health and

well being, while enhancing the overall mothering

experience.
