Dr. Paul Lyons of Winchester Neurological Consultants is on the Epilepsy Foundation of Virginia board.

I posted something on Facebook about the walk and three weeks later, we had raised $1,200, said Payton, 12, a student at Bak Middle School of the Arts. Organizers estimated that more than 7,000 registered walkers would raise $450,000 from the event, held on a sparkling day along the downtown waterfront. We had that many people last year, and it was a freezing 40 degrees, said Liz Feld, president of Autism Speaks. The weather this year is perfect. Autism Speaks was founded in 2005 by Palm Beach residents Bob and Suzanne Wright shortly after their grandson was diagnosed with autism.
