See the Inspiring Photos of a Marine Carrying an 11-Year-Old Cancer Survivor Across a Triathlon Finish Line After His Prosthetic Leg Broke

What everyone turned to see was her son Ben, a bone cancer survivor, in the middle of a group of Marines who had picked him up after his prosthetic leg broke during the Sea Turtle Tri in Pensacola, Fla.


Hoorah, Marine (I hope that's right)

Ben told the News Herald that he and Morgan didn’t really talk while they were running, but when the other Marines joined in they sang a cadence.

Awesome story.  Sounds like the kid was still embarrassed he had to be carried across.  Sounds like a very determined kid.

+1, kid sounds like a young bad ass.
