Video: Walk Like MADD!

Mothers Against Drunk Driving® (MADD) will host its signature Walk Like MADD® noncompetitive 5K fundraising walk & Fun Run at USF on March 23, 2012. Sponsored by Bright House Networks, the walk begins at 6:30pm and will raise funds and rally support for MADD's
Campaign to Eliminate Drunk Driving®.

All proceeds raised from the Tampa Walk Like MADD remain in the Greater Tampa Bay area to further MADD's lifesaving mission by supporting and educating local families and youth right here.

According to the FHSMV, in 2010 in Hillsborough County, there were 1,363 alcohol related crashes where 54 people were killed and 980 people were injured. Nationwide, nearly 11,000 lives were lost due to drunk driving and another 400,000 people were injured in alcohol-related crashes. These were all preventable, MADD is inviting the Tampa Bay area come together to support prevention through education and awareness of MADD's mission.

The Walk Like MADD is taking place for the 5th year in a row and is expected to raise $62,000 to help further MADDs mission to eliminate drunk driving, support the victims of this violent crime and prevent underage drinking. Registration is $15 for those ages 5-21, and $20 for those who are 21 and over.
