Spartanburg, SC NEDA Walk


Inspiring, emotional, authentic these are just a few of the words that walk participants use to describe NEDA Walks.

Those who attend NEDA Walks are deeply passionate, warm people who genuinely care about one another. “I have never loved and cared about so many strangers before,” said the coordinator of the Salt Lake City walk.

This is your last chance to pre-register for the Spartanburg, SC NEDA Walk, so sign up today and be part of the NEDA Walk family.

As author Jenni Schaefer said, “Although each person's recovery journey is unique, a common bond connects all walkers. Together, we are strong. We make a difference."
