Hundreds of locals turned out for this year's Walk for Autism 5K at the Abilene Zoo.

Not only was the turnout immense, but teams who walked through the zoo helped raise enough money to help Autism Speaks get to the one million dollar mark.

There was also some live entertainment and booths with information services as well.
