_______________
A pair of inspirational Idaho boys have shown that amazing feats can be accomplished with a little strength and a lot of love.

Six-year-old Lucas Aldrich was born with a rare brain malformation known as lissencephaly. Because of his condition, he cannot talk, walk or eat by himself. However, thanks to a little help from his older brother, he recently completed a triathlon.

Lucas and 8-year-old Noah have a deep connection and spend time watching cartoons and go on neighborhood bike rides together.

“I like everything about him, he’s perfect,” Noah told KTVB.

Be sure to have your tissue box close.

What an exceptional kid Noah is to have this strong of a bond with his severely disabled brother.
