The inaugural Nantucket Walk Now for Autism took place at Jetties Beach on Saturday, August 25, 2007 and raised over $340,000. Highlights of the morning's program included a performance by Olivia Esposito and the Nantucket Theatre Workshop and special guest speaker Linda Roberts, who told of the particular challenges of raising an autistic child on an island. Emcee Bob Wright and his fellow Walk Chairs Suzanne Wright and Chris and Heather Kennedy thanked over 1,000 attendees for their support before leading the 1.85 mile Walk.
