Walk Now for Autism Speaks

Thanks to everyone who came out and joined WFTV 9 Family Connection, MegaTV and other sponsors for the 2013 Walk Now for Autism Speaks event at Cranes Roost Park on Saturday, November 9, 2013.

It was a huge success, attracting over 7,000 people and raising more than $230,000!

We hope to see you next year!
