OCD Southern California, an official affiliate of the International OCD Foundation (IOCDF), is always honored to participate in the “One Million Steps for OCD Walks” each year. This year, we kicked off our first OCD SoCal walk on Saturday, June 6th at the La Jolla Shores Hotel in San Diego, CA!

Attendees included OCD SoCal board members, members of our San Diego Regional Council, volunteers, people with OCD, their family and friends, and more! They all reported having a great time at the OCD Awareness Walk in San Diego including representing their official walk t-shirts with pride, visiting the info booths, and mingling with others in similar situations with OCD.

Around 100 walkers joined the event and raised approximately $2,400 to support IOCDF’s programs and outreach efforts. Thank you to everyone who showed up, donated, and helped create a successful event!

For more information on the “One Million Steps for OCD Walks,” including upcoming walks in the Southern California area, please stay tuned to our website or visit the IOCDF’s official walk webpage at https://iocdf.org/programs/ocd-walk/!
