Deaf and Autistic Marathon Runner

A deaf and autistic 10th grader tried to run the Philadelphia Marathon last year but didn’t make it. Charlie Dickens made it to mile 21. This year, the Pennsylvania School for the Deaf student joined 16,000 other runners and tried again. And he made it. Dickens finished in 6:37:10. He ran with two other students from the school.
