Hi! My name is Gilly Orben and this fall I have planted, 2,000 tulips in support of the International OCD Foundation.

Each tulip planted is in honor of those who live with OCD every single day. As these flowers grow, I’m challenging myself to grow too. This year I will be running 200 miles by the time the tulips bloom. Every mile and every donation helps fund research, education, and support for individuals and families affected by OCD.

This goal is personal to me as I have struggled with mental health and OCD throughout my life including a specific battle with BFRBs (Body Focused

Repetitive Behaviors.) My goal is to break the stigma and spread awareness for all people who feel they are alone in these struggles. Help me turn miles into meaning and bulbs into hope.

Your support can help ensure that no one affected by OCD and related disorders feels alone in their struggle. Your donations will directly support the IOCDF in their mission by:

Join me in this journey! Please consider sponsoring my miles by donating to this important cause. Together, we can make a difference for countless individuals and families seeking support.
