When runner Ajay Haridasse got to the 26-mile mark of the Boston Marathon, his legs suddenly gave way under him. After trying four times to get to his feet, he figured he had to crawl the rest of the way.
That’s when two heroes dressed in running shorts teamed up to help him cross the finish line.
Aaron Beggs, a 40-year-old from Northern Ireland, appeared on his left side and pulled Haridasse to his feet. Robson De Oliveira, a 36-year-old from Brazil, grabbed the other arm.
They are being praised for their ‘beautiful moment ‘ of sportsmanship.
When asked why they did it, the Boston Marathoners shrugged and said:
‘Two are stronger than one.’
“These 2 men set aside their pride of what place they finished to help a stranger who worked just as hard as they did to enter the marathon,” one commenter said. “This is amazing.”
