Annual 1 Million Steps 4 OCD Awareness Walk
The 1 Million Steps 4 OCD Awareness Walk was created in 2013, the year after my pilgrimage from Cheyney, PA to Boston, MA in memory of Nathaniel, a 525-mile journey by foot. Like the original, this annual walk event builds community and raises awareness, funds, and hope. This year, we want to see how many million steps we can walk for OCD awareness together.
