Brotherly Love Goes The Distance.
At first glance, this looks like an all American family.
Little Lucas Aldrich was born with something called, lissencephaly, a rare brain malformation that only occurs in 85,470 births. It can result in seizures, difficulty swallowing, and other serious problems.
Their other son, Noah, wanted to participate in the YMCA youth triathlon and not just by himself, but he wanted little brother Lucas to come along.
Noah admirably trained for almost three months before the triathlon began.
All his training paid off on July 12 when he cycled for 3 miles with his brother…
Swam over 200 yards…
And ran for 1 mile pushing Lucas in a special buggy.
“They have an amazing bond. They’re best friends and they do everything together,” mom Alissa Aldrich says. “The connection and the love that they share is truly unique.”
These brothers show us the meaning of love and friendship, and prove that no matter the obstacles, you can do anything when you put your heart and soul into it.
You don’t see incredible acts of love every day, but this 8-year-old shows us it doesn’t take much to make a huge difference in the lives of others.
