Friends gathered Saturday for a march for Henry Johnson, a 5-year-old Turlock boy who has Apert syndrome. The disorder resulted in his fingers being fused when he was born and a number of other medical issues that have required numerous surgeries. Apert syndrome turns up in one of about 160,000 to 200,000 babies, according to the Children's Craniofacial Association.

Henry's mother Rachel Johnson organized the event to benefit the Children's Craniofacial Association. Over 500 supporters turned out on Saturday, with in excess of $20,000 raised for the organization.
