Every stride at Walk Like MADD in Wilmington brings us closer to ending impaired driving a public safety crisis that is worsening in Delaware. On April 26th impaired driving survivors victims’ families law enforcement and advocates will rally at Hare Pavilion-Wilmington Riverfront for the Walk Like MADD 5K a powerful event that brings the community together to raise money that directly funds MADD’s 24/7 free victim services.
This isn’t just a walk—it’s a movement. Drunk driving fatalities in Delaware increased by 40% in 2022 compared to 2021 according to the latest available data. This preventable surge in impaired driving makes this year’s Walk Like MADD event a strong call to action.
Funds raised from Walk Like MADD provide critical support for MADD’s free 24/7 victim services including:
- Guidance with crime victim compensation
- Assistance through the criminal and civil justice systems
- Court accompaniment for hearings and trials
- Help with victim impact statements
- Emotional support for victims and their loved ones
- Connections to other victims and survivors with shared experiences
- Referrals to additional resources and support groups
