Meet the 8-year-old who helped his brother complete a triathlon
Two brothers who share a unique bond took part in the best sports story you’ll hear this week. Heck, it might be the best all month or even year

We’re sorry that this video is auto-play, but it’s worth it -- trust us.
Lucas and Noah Aldrich share the bond all brothers do, but theirs might be a little more special. 6-year-old Lucas was born with a neurological condition which means he’ll never walk, talk or eat without assistance. His brother Noah is always there for him and the pair are inseparable, even when that means taking part in a triathlon.
The 8-year-old from Boise, Idaho didn’t want his special needs brother to miss out running a race conducted by a local YMCA, so the two began training. On race day Noah was tethered to a raft so he could swim with his brother, then rode with him on a three mile bike ride before pushing him the final mile to complete the race to a chorus of cheers.
Lucas and Noah’s parents have wanted to ensure both their children are able to live a life without limits and this stunning display of brotherly love is proof positive that they’re doing just that.
