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.

Point Zero It is the eve of our departure for our pilgrimage to Assisi, so we have named it day zero, like Point Zero in front of Notre Dame de Paris — the point from which all distances in France … Continue reading
