Boy's Touching Letter To Race in 5K With Disabled Brother

In a story we picked up on from USA Today we learned of Tobias Bass. Tobias is our new hero and in all likelihood, he'll be yours when you've finished this story.

Tobias Bass is from Oklahoma City and he recently wrote to a local news station there, because he knew they sometimes help raise money for people in need. But Tobias specifically said he wasn't looking for a handout.

Tobias's brother Titus has cerebral palsy, so he can't play sports. And Tobias knows how hard it is for him to see other kids playing outside, so he wanted to include him in a 5K race that took place this past weekend.

The problem was, he needed something to push Titus in. But their single mother who works as a teacher couldn't afford a jogging stroller that was big enough to hold him.

So Tobias wrote to the station, but didn't ask them to buy him the stroller. He simply asked if they could help find one he could just borrow for the weekend. And if they could, he'd volunteer to push other disabled children in more races. Check out his letter at USAToday.com

Well, instead of finding one to lend him, the station got one for him to keep! And Tobais and Titus were able to run their first 5K race together on Friday.

It's stories like these that will renew our beliefs in this country! Now, if we could just get our politicians to follow the lead.
