A 2 Man Team with more Heart than the whole NFL

"It is not the critic that counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or the doer of deeds could have them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the Arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but he who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great devotion; who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails while daring greatly, knows that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls, who know neither victory nor defeat." -- Teddy Roosevelt

  1. Wow, I teared up watching this family as they told their story. Conner is an amazing brother. I watched this with my 16 year old son and he was moved by it too. It really makes you think about what's important and how to put things life hands to you into perspective. Kids are so smart. Conner didn't care if he came in first place, he just cared that his brother was having fun and happy. It was pretty cool to see that Conner would rather sit out of a race than leave his brother behind. This is what they should be showing in schools...to show kids how great it can feel to be compassionate to others. That really was an inspiring story!
