I haven’t done one of these in a long, long time. It’s not that I don’t think of people as heroes, because I see them all the time both in person and in the news. I’ve just been lazy. Really, really lazy.
And busy.
Anyway, I meant to post about these kids a while ago but I didn’t (see excuse above.)
So a while ago, I came across an article about these two kids Noah and Lucas whose amazing parents allowed them to participate in a triathlon.
Very inspiring to see kids these days doing something other than sitting in front of the TV with their video games, right? But even more inspirational is that they are only 6 and 8 and that the best friends and brothers competed and crossed the finish line of a triathlon together!
Big brother Noah made sure his younger brother Lucas (who has lissencephaly and is unable to walk and talk) was well protected during the race and even added, “he’s just like any other kid out there.”
I can just imagine what the future holds for them.
8-year-old Noah and 6-year-old Lucas competing in a triathlon:
The family runs Lucas House, a place where families with children who have life-threatening conditions will be able to go for respite and palliative care once it opens. Go visit their website to learn more about them and to help them get it started.
