School nurse raises funds for children with autism

School nurse Jocelyn Pardi hopes to raise $10,000 to donate to a school for children with autism by running the New York Marathon in November. "Parents with autistic children say over and over it's not a sprint, it's a marathon," said Pardi, who works at the school. "It's about long-term goals, dedication and perseverance."
