Each year team OCD Avengers (aka Anxiety Specialists of Atlanta) brings enthusiasm, compassion, and silliness to a wonderful annual fundraising event>>> 1 Million Steps 4 OCD.

This is our 10th YEAR (booyah!!) doing this walk for the International OCD Foundation, our team has raised over $15k in that time, the walk is organized by all the dedicated and amazing volunteer members of OCD Georgia, Inc., and it gives us professionals a chance to spend time away from the office with other like minded professionals, family members/loved ones, and friends who support and stand by anyone who struggles with OCD, health anxiety and related disorders.

https://support.iocdf.org/fundraiser/5827362

Most important, however, is that the walk brings together OCD WARRIORS, those who have beaten down OCD in the past and those currently battling such a complex and debilitating disorder.

To you Warriors, remember ===
1) YOU are not alone
2) there is a community here for YOU, AND
3) that there is UNDENIABLE SCIENCE behind effective treatment for OCD

Our walk is October 20, 2024. Please help me and my team fundraise to support team OCD Avengers!!!
