WORTHINGTON, Ohio - Get ready to grab a tissue -- you're in for a tearjerker.
More and more often we hear about kids bullying other kids, but one Ohio 11-year-old with spastic cerebral palsy experienced a true moment of kindness this week.
It happened as Matt Woodrum was running the 400 meter race during a school field day, despite being given the option to sit out.
It wasn't easy but Matt kept on running, getting visibly tired along the way.
It was during his second lap, when he got a little help from his friends, who broke into cheers, encouraging him across the finish line.
The video was shot by Matt's mom and has since gone viral.
