What is the NEDA Walk?
The NEDA Walk, which kicked off as the first annual NEDA Walk during NEDAwareness Week 2009, is a walk-a-thon fundraiser supporting NEDA and a community awareness-raising event. Individuals from across the country will be coordinating a NEDA Walk in their community in recognition of NEDAwareness Week throughout the year. The NEDA Walk is a non-competitive community event. Registrants can participate in whatever capacity they feel is appropriate for them.
Who should be a NEDA Walk Coordinator?
You! Anyone with an interest in raising awareness and funds to help support NEDA can organize a NEDA Walk. It can be as simple as picking a route and asking your friends, acquaintances, co-workers and family to get pledges, invite their friends, and show up to walk.
I’ve never organized a walk-a-thon before. How do I do it?
Fill out the NEDA Walk registration form (only $15 to register). NEDA will send you the NEDA Walk Handbook, which provides instructions, suggestions and resources to help you at every stage of the walk planning and day of your Walk activities. NEDA supports you by giving you access to the NEDA Walk Google Group containing all the tools you need to customize your Walk, a discussion board and we even organize conference calls to address your questions and support your efforts! Get a few friends together to help out and have fun!

Steps to becoming a NEDA Walk Coordinator
- Fill out the NEDA Walk Registration Form and wait for your NEDA Walk Handbook from NEDA.
- You will receive access to a NEDA Walk Google Group where you can get the registration form and pledge form booklet, poster file, and all the other resources in the appendices of the NEDA Walk Handbook.
- Notify Jess Silye (jsilye@myneda.org) of your event details, when available. She will then have your Walk added to the firstgiving.com/NEDA site, where walkers can register online and create their own personal fundraising pages.
- Fax proof of $250.00 in pledges, or raise at least $250 through your online registration on Firstgiving.com/NEDA. Note that this is not money required up front, but proof of, or commitment to, receive a minimum of $250.00 in donations for your walk. You will receive the remainder of the NEDA Walk Kit materials upon proof of $250.00 in pledges or $250 donations received online.
- Use the NEDA Walk Handbook for instructions on handling money, getting the registration form with your local Walk information on it, and the logistics of organizing your NEDA Walk.
- Have fun!
