Finish Line

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-humber-39215616

10 year old Riley was 60m from the finish line of a cross country race in Grimsby when he collapsed with a stitch. Another runner, Julian, picked up Riley and carried him across the finish line. Local photographer Jon Corken captured the moment perfectly.

Later, Julian said, "I'd rather not have won and helped my friend than leave him there"

The head teacher of Julian's school said, "What Julian did encompasses how we want our children to be. He has exemplified his caring attitude. He is one of our young leaders where he helps support younger children within the school with extra classes. I am proud to say we have a school full of Julian's."

What can we learn from Julian?
