Walk Now for Autism



Another early morning of volunteering, we were actually out before the sun. I found it funny that the golf cart had working headlights. Those lights reminded me how nice it would be to still be sleeping...



after quite a bit of standing around we were finally assigned to greeting the walkers as they arrived.



We had the task of directing them to the different registration tables depending on what they needed to do.



It's always important to stay hydrated in Arizona, especially when they are handing out free water to the volunteers.





Checking out the vendor booths after we finished volunteering.







Really great turnout this year, this is the start line about 20 minutes AFTER the walk started. It took quite a while for everyone to finally get on the walking path.
