The Home Stretch — Just two weeks to go!!

We are just two weeks away from the 1st annual 1 Million+ Steps 4 OCD Awareness Walk.  Already, 140 fundraisers and 49 teams have joined together with their friends, family, and colleagues to raise over $35,000 for the IOCDF!!!

The response from the OCD and related disorder community has been overwhelming!  We banded together as a community to support the programs of the IOCDF — we have posted our walk pages on Facebook and Twitter and many have shared their personal stories on their fundraising pages — in doing so, we are helping others to better understand OCD and related disorders and thereby we are changing the perception that people have of OCD.

We wrote yesterday about Denis Asselin setting out on part 2 of his journey, this time walking south to Washington, DC. You can follow his journey on his blog, or from Twitter.

Denis’ journey is our journey too. While he is out walking for his son Nathaniel, I want all of us to keep walking along with him.

Thank you to all of you for being part of this journey. If you think that you have already raised all you can — we thank you for that. But if think you can do more (we think you can), let’s see if you can help meet our challenge! Check out our fundraising tools here, for some extra help.

And if you haven’t registered yet, there is still time! Register to walk virtually, or in Boston.

In Boston, we are hoping to have at least 300 walkers join us on June 8th, so we can show the OCD community’s strength in numbers. If you live in New England, can you join us, and bring a friend (or two, or ten)?
