I’m heading to Mass this morning but I saw this and thought it was pretty cool so I thought I’d throw it up here. Yahoo reports:
Josh Ripley didn’t have to stop. Running in a recent cross country meet for Andover (Minn.) High, the junior varsity runner was making his way through the trail at the Applejack Invite when he heard a loud scream during the first mile of a two-mile race. Most of the other kids running didn’t pay much attention to Lakeville South runner Mark Paulauskas, who was writhing in pain at the time, as they passed by.
The only person who decided to pay attention was Ripley. As an Anoka-Hennepin school district release reported, Ripley immediately noticed Paulauskas holding his bloody ankle. Then, instead of running back and calling for help, he did the only thing he could think of: He carried the injured runner a half mile back to coaches and family members.

What's this?? An act of loving-kindness in Michelle Bachmann's district?? Alert the MSM!

Exactly the kind of person our world needs more of. An honor to see this report.
