Meaghan Martin walks it out for autism

April was Autism Awareness Month, so Grant a Gift Autism Foundation hosted their first annual 5k walk in Las Vegas. Meaghan Martin, actress and singer of Camp Rock, participated in the walk in her hometown to support the 48 million people in the world who suffer from autism.

While the cause reaches out to millions, Meaghan brings it close to home. Her little brother, Zach, has Asperger syndrome, which is a form of autism that impairs interpersonal relationships and everyday social interaction.
