In lecture this week, we watched a video of Chris Klein. Chris suffered from Cerebral Palsy, and talked about the struggle to be normal when having a disability. When faced with a disability it can sometimes be hard for a person to do the things they want. Well, Noah Aldrich is a normal 8 year old boy from Idaho and his brother is Lucas. Lucas suffers from lissencephaly, a rare brain condition that leaves him unable walk, talk, or eat by himself. When the local YMCA was holding a mini triathlon for kids, Noah wanted to compete with his brother. Noah helping his brother Lucas in the triathlon, completed the 200 meter swim, 3 mile bike ride, and 1 mile run. Lucas showed a look of excitement after the race. Hopefully this story of Lucas and Noah helps a person with disability not to shy away from what they want to do.
