The Brotherly Love That Conquers Triathlons

Reaching the finish line of a triathlon isn’t easy. No one understands this more than 12-year-old Noah Aldrich. He’s finished more than 15 triathlons by pushing his younger brother, Lucas, in a racing cart in front of him. Born with a rare neurological condition that renders him unable to walk or talk, doctors never expected Lucas to compete in athletic events. But together, the two brothers can cross any finish line.

The part I love the most is when he says “I don’t care if I’m First, i just want Lucas to be okay.”

When you're having a bad day or just feeling sorry about yourself, just watch this and feel hope again.

Moontess Doesn't help if your problems are financial, but it is inspiring.

[@aus-li]

Alec Risser Inspiring to get the money to help your situation...inspiring!

[@Moontess]

That's what I thought at the start too, when I found out his prognosis. But then I looked again and saw the bravery of both boys, the perseverance and the brotherly bond - and that is a deep legacy of hope that will last longer than their lives.

It is too bad you received such negative feedback, I guess it just goes to show that us humans really are as amazing as we decide to be!

[@augustsmith9553]

I know how we can highlight them Let’s make a KZbin video Oh wait

[@naitsirk32]

In Denmark we have a couple of brothers like these, however they complete iron mans together in the same fashion. They are into their 30's and it is a complete iron man. They are a sensation, like these guys in the video. The healthy brother even carries his brother through the whole marathon. It is just to say that it is possible to keep this going. If they have the mental strength to keep at it, I sincerely hope these young boys will conquer similar goals together as adults.

This is proof that people’s belief and faith in humanity is NOT misplaced

[@swesleyc7]

Deadorbiter0000 _ I entirely agree. Humanity can be good and righteous. I fully believe and hold that all people WANT to do good deep down. Most are afraid to show it untill they see inspiration like this.

[@swallowedinthesea11]

Pisses me off that some kids will never get to experience life in its fullest. I know first hand how it feels to miss out on things. I envy the brothers' relationship and wish them the best.

Same thing with my sister :) My sister was born too early when she was born the doctors said she might not stay alive and if she did she won’t be able to talk, walk, or see well she stayed in the hospital for 7 months by that time my mom thought she didn’t make it. But then the doctors said you can take her now. She is a survivor :D

What an amazing young man. He obviously cares deeply about his brother. When I was younger I had two small children and I pulled them in a double bike cart.....carrying that much weight was incredibly difficult even as an adult. I doubt they weighed as much together as this young man's brother . I don't suppose too many people have any idea what kind of determination and strength this takes. He has my complete admiration not only for the strength of his body, but also his strength of love and kindness. He is truly one of a kind, and I wish there were more such people in the world.
