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.
