The idea came from client Amanda Riedling's talk on attorney work-life balance. Forward Push, a Gold Sponsor of the Cobb Bar, pitched the hike to make it real.
Attorneys spend all day solving other people's problems. A morning on the trail with their families is worth more.”
ATLANTA, GA, UNITED STATES, September 14, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Forward Push Law Firm Marketing, a Gold Sponsor of the Cobb County Bar Association, brought the idea for a Fall Family Friendly Hike to the bar after hearing 2025-2026 CCBA President Amanda M. Riedling speak about the importance of work-life balance for attorneys. Riedling, of Georgia Wills, Trusts & Probate Firm, is a Forward Push client.— Marc Apple
The hike is set for Saturday, September 19, 2026, from 8:30 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. at Kennesaw Mountain Battlefield. It is open to Cobb Bar members and their families. Attendees will meet at the Cheatham Hill Drive/Illinois Monument parking lot and walk a 2-mile trail that takes about 45 minutes to complete. Forward Push is providing drinks and snacks so families can show up and just walk.
"Amanda stood up and said what every attorney already knows but doesn't say out loud, that the job eats the rest of your life if you let it," said Marc Apple, founder and partner at Forward Push Law Firm Marketing. "We didn't want to just nod along. We wanted to put something on the calendar."
Meg Garavaglia, Director of Client Growth at Forward Push, will attend the hike. "I left a three-hour commute years ago because I wanted my family back, so I know exactly what Amanda was talking about. That's why we brought this idea to the Bar instead of just sponsoring whatever came next. We wanted this one to exist."
