THANK YOU FOR MAKING THE 1 MILLION STEPS 4 OCD WALKS A SUCCESS!

OCD SoCal would like to extend a huge thank you to everyone who made our 1 Million Steps 4 OCD walks last weekend a huge success! We had over 100 individuals (and a few dogs!) who attended our walks in Orange County, San Diego, and Los Angeles on June 3, 2017.
