Marathon

By kirsten • May 10, 2022

We moved from AUS to the USA 2 years ago.

My Aussie 13 year old just finished her first ever Marathon.

At 13 miles she wanted to give up and was really struggling. Around the 14.5 mile - an Australian man, named Andrew, found her crying and realizing she was Australian - they started chatting. This man stuck by her side for the rest of the race - did not leave her as she struggled, cried and wanted to give up.

He could have finished the race 1.5hrs earlier but he stuck by her side. A true hero. Aussie Mateship at its finest. She will forever be grateful (as will we).
