PITTSBURGH -- This weekend, thousands walked to raise money for autism research.
Sunday was the fourth annual Walk Far for NAAR at Heinz Field.
It raises funds for the National Alliance for Autism Research.
One local mother of an autistic child was touched by the thousands who showed their support.
Maggie Garofalo said, "I know how it has affected our family and my heart goes out to all of these other families. And I just think it is wonderful that there is so much support for these children."
Over the past four years, the walk has raised more than $9 million. Copyright 2003 by Wpxi.com. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed.

 "A foolish faith in authority is the worst enemy of truth." -- Albert Einstein, letter to a friend, 1901 "I know of no safe depository of the ultimate powers of the society but the people themselves, and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them, but to inform their discretion by education." -- Thomas Jefferson, letter to William C.
