Mothers Against Drunk Driving was founded in 1980. 

Walk Like MADD’s origins came from the family of a victim of a drunk driver. Dr. Robert Geronumus was killed in January 2009. His family started walking in his honor, and Walk Like MADD has been growing through the years. 

The Clark County Walk Like MADD event is sponsored by Target Zero and by Custom Towing.

Walk Like MADD event will be May 6 at Hockinson Meadows Park, but those who register by April 20 will receive a discount and a guarantee of a T-shirt for the rally that raises awareness of drunk driving and raises money to fund programs to stop drunk driving.
