First Runner With Down Syndrome Finishes NYC Marathon

This is such a great story....but there are two special side notes that are even more uplifting than completing a marathon (his SECOND marathon, no less!).
1. He did it because he and another friend who were both non-runners decided to try something new!
2. Participating in a community activity with a friend (which is something that any 'typical' person would do with a friend) has had a profoundly positive impact on this young man's entire life!

It just warms my heart....and gives me hope for the future!  Gotta love the Best Buddies Program!!!
