After Falling 200 Yards From the Finish Line, He Almost Gave Up, But Then a Cop Did This

By  20:28  No comments

There are good people in the world, and this video proves it. When Robert McCoy fell 200 yards from the finish line at the Rock 'n' Roll Marathon in Savannah, GA, Sergeant John Cain of the Savannah-Chatham Metropolitan Police Department rushed to help. He hit the pavement hard, leaving his face, knees, and shoulder badly bleeding. The sergeant said Robert kept whispering, "I've got to finish the race." John made it his mission to help the runner to his feet and get him to the end.

It turns out Robert, himself a cancer survivor, was running the half marathon in honor of his father, who died of cancer that past April. As a gesture of appreciation, Robert swung by the police station that Monday to give John his medal. "He deserved it more than I did, because if it weren't for him, I wouldn't have finished the race for my dad. He's the real hero." But oh no. The officer said of Robert, "Just his motivation, his dedication, his drive to that race made him a hero in my book." OK, you're both heroes. Now pass me the tissues.
