HENRICO COUNTY, Va. -- Hundreds laced up their shoes at Saturday in Henrico County for the seventh annual Walk Now For Autism Speaks.

Lots of families turned out for the event at Richmond International Raceway.

WTVR CBS 6 was proud sponsor of the event and meteorologist Nikki-Dee Ray  was the event’s emcee.

Here in Richmond, nearly $98,000 have been raised so far. The funds raised help support research and programs to help those who struggle with autism.
