Community members braced the rain, winds, and clouds for the Annual Autism Walk.

Those with autism alongside their family, friends, and supporters converged at the Lake Erie Speedway in North East for the 23rd annual walk.

Booths, vendors, and festivities began at 9:30 in the morning, but the two-mile walk itself began at 11:00.


Organizers said events like these bring the autism community together and raises money for the support and services the Autism Society of Northwestern Pennsylvania does for the community.

Every year, the Autism Society of Northwestern Pennsylvania honors a family and this year, they chose the Parsons family.
