I know this is a "feel good" story, but seriously?
This is not the same thing as a blind man running and finishing
the race on his own with only the help of a lead person.
The blind man runs the whole course.

Just as they finished, the trio started the race running and holding hands together. For the middle portion of the 13.1-mile course, Miller and Matthews pushed her in a running stroller until Anastasia wanted to get out and run with her fellow competitors into the finish line.

KUDOS to the little girl for trying, but seriously?
The family is setting this child up for failure later in life. We have enough problems with normal "participation trophy kids" now, much less ones afflicted with down syndrome.

You might consider not replying to me at all if you don't like my opinion as I will defend it vigorously.
