Many thanks to Nicole Padilla and all who worked so hard to make the first annual Autism Walk in Merrillville a success! The event was held at the Dean and Barbara White Community Center and was hosted by the Merrillville Parks and Recreation District. The day of fun, face-painting, snacks, goodies and balloon animals saw over 400 people walking in honor of loved ones who live on the autism spectrum. Nicole is pictured here.
