'Extraordinary' little boy finishes triathlon with his disabled brother

8-Year-Old Boy Carried His Disabled Younger Brother Through An Entire Triathlon

Noah Aldrich is an eight-year-old boy from Idaho. He has a  six-year-old brother Lucas who was born with lissencephaly – a rare brain disorder that means he will never walk, talk, or eat on his own.

Never underestimate the power of brotherly love

Being an adventurous boy his age, when he learned about a youth triathlon in his city, he instantly wanted to do it with his little brother.

Recently, they completed a youth Triathlon together, where Noah pushed and pulled his brother through a 200-meter swim, three-mile bike ride, and one-mile run in the Idaho heat.

Lucas and Noah share a special bond and are best friends

Their mother, Alissa, has recently started the Lucas House Organization dedicated to children like Lucas, after getting inspiration from places like Ryan House of Phoenix and Helen & Douglas House in the UK.

“Bond is stronger than blood. The family grows stronger by bond.”
