The OCD Walk

Raise funds and make strides for OCD awareness!

The OCD Walk brings together individuals impacted by OCD to connect, share stories, and make an impact. Each year, our community gathers to lift each other up and show those struggling on their road to recovery that they are not alone.

As one of the IOCDF's largest annual fund fundraisers, the OCD Walk is a vital way we show our advocacy and raise funds and awareness of this often misunderstood disorder.The OCD Walk is completely free to attend! Sign up as an individual, create a team, or join an existing team.

Consider a self-donation to kick off your fundraising. Those who raise $75 or above are eligible for a commemorative OCD Walk T-shirt. Parents/Caregivers: Youth under 13 do not need to registers individually and can be included in you own registration.
