Compassion and empathy at it's best.

A middle school wrestler goes above and beyond. I have no words to describe this. Take a look. This is Jared Stevens, who suffers from cerebral palsy in his first wrestling match. Justin Kievit, his opponent, is a man beyond his years.

That was awesome, thanks CA! What a good sport.

I have a neice with C.P., her name is Robin; she recently turned 40.

Looks like everybody's a winner there. Much to be proud of from those boys, and likely too, their parents.
Well done.

Pretty special. :wink:
Is this the same kid/father who did the triathlon together?

Thanks,
Joe

Not sure Joe. However to steal another man's words: "I am humbled by the thought that I have seen true greatness in my time"
