A second man ran up behind moments later to help spirit the woman over the finish line before her body gave out completely.

Not 25 feet from the finish line, the young woman simply couldn’t move another step. It was then that a third good samaritan scooped up the runner and carried her all the way to the finish line.

And the big hearted man managed to carry her all the way to the finish line. He then set her down to take the last few steps with her own power.
