Boston Marathon runners help man cross finish line in heartwarming moment
This made me tear up a bit when I saw it yesterday. It's Heartwarming. They sacrificed their own personal best run time to help a fellow runner.
The marathon is a big deal to the runners, spectators and to us here in Boston.
The trio’s finishing time was still good enough to qualify them for next year’s race.

Boston Marathon runners help man cross finish line in heartwarming moment
Aaron Beggs, of Northern Ireland, and Robson De Oliveira, of Brazil, put their personal best on hold to help Ajay Haridasse, a Massachusetts native and student at Northeastern University, after he collapsed on Monday just 305 metres from the end of the course.
Beggs, who had also been feeling sick and exhausted, reminded himself of all the people in his running club who might never get to experience the Boston Marathon.
“We were shaking hands as we were running, and was like, ‘We’ve got this. Let’s do this together,'” he added. “It’s not like in shorter races where you’re head-to-head trying to beat people. In the marathon, you’re cheering each other on and encouraging everybody.”
Haridasse told the Boston Herald that he was “getting ready to crawl” to the finish line after falling down for the fourth time.

There is a short video at the link, watch them help Haridasse up and make it across the finish line together.

There was a thread on it here that I can't find now... I said
I was so impress with the Lung Power!
I couldn't walk 26+ miles, let alone run it! 
Kudos to all that crossed the end line. ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks, Cha.
I run short laps. Nothing like I used to run 5 miles.. so I can only imagine having the stamina and lung power to run 20 miles in 3 hours.
Are you kidding me right now!! lol 
the Boston Strong Marathon Runners!! 
Lol...I wouldn't have been able to even run the 5 miles you use to do!

A beautiful moment. indeed.
