美國8歲男童帶腦癱弟弟參加“鐵人三項”比賽

Noah and Lucas are brothers. Noah， the 8-year-old elder brother is lively and adorable while Lucas， the 6-year-old younger one， unfortunately has got congenital cerebral palsy. Recently， only 8-year-old Noah did a thing that moves everyone -- he finished the whole “Triathlon” competition when taking his little brother Lucas who suffers from congenital cerebral palsy with him. The competition is consisted of three parts in the order of open water swimming， road cycling and road long-distance race. It is a tough test for athletes’ techniques and endurance and needs them to finish the competition at one fling.

It is learned that， Lucas was diagnosed with lissencephaly syndrome when he was born. It means that he can never walk and speak like a normal person or eat by himself.

Noah和Lucas是一對親兄弟，8歲的哥哥Noah活潑可愛，6歲的弟弟Lucas卻不幸患有先天腦癱。最近，只有8歲的Noah做了一件讓所有人動容的事——他帶著先天腦癱的弟弟Lucas完成了整個“鐵人三項”的比賽。該比賽由天然水域游泳、公路自行車、公路長跑三個項目按順序組成。可以說是對運動員技巧和耐力的嚴峻考驗，需要他們一鼓作氣完成全程的比賽。

據悉，Noah的弟弟Lucas在出生時就被診斷出患有先天無腦回畸形。這一診斷意味著Lucas永遠不能像其他正常人一樣走路，說話，或者自己吃東西。

On July 12th， 2014， Noah actually finished the entire items of “triathlon” when bringing Locus with him. They finished the 200 meters swim first， then the 3 miles cycling and the 1 mile running. When swimming， Noah put Lucas in a gas raft； when running and cycling， Lucas stayed in a cart. “Noah is a nerve-racking guy but makes people excited at the same time. As his parent， I am proud of him and it is quite a inconceivable thing” said the bothers’ mother Alissa Aldrich to the reporter at the scene. According to Alissa Aldrich， though Lucas gets congenital defects， his family is very energetic. Together they went on a flight， went to ski and went to the Disneyland. “For enjoying life freely we took part in the activity. When we carried Lucas out of the water， he smiled the most brilliant smile I have ever seen.”

2014年7月12日，Noah竟然帶著Locus完成了“鐵人三項”比賽的全程項目。他們首先完成了200米游泳，然后騎著自行車行進了三英里，最后完成了一英里的跑步。在游泳項目時，Noah將Lucas放在氣筏中；在跑步和騎車時，Lucas則待在一個推車里。“Noah是一個令人傷腦筋的家伙，但同時又讓人激動和振奮。作為父母，我為他感到驕傲，這是一件十分不可思議的事情。”兄弟倆的媽媽Alissa Aldrich這樣告訴現場采訪的記者。據Alissa Aldrich介紹，盡管Lucas有先天的缺陷，但是他的家人還是充滿著活力。他們曾一起飛行，一起滑雪，一起去迪斯尼游玩。“我們參加這個活動是為了無拘無束的享受生活，當我們把Lucas從水里抱出來時，他露出了我見過最燦爛的笑容。”
