Well done Julian Otu
Just had to post this ,to show how caring some youngsters are .A Spontaneous act of kindness .http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-humber-39215616
Two schoolboys had a "Brownlee brothers moment" when one carried the other across the finishing line.
Riley Watson, 10, was 60ft from the end of a cross-country race when he collapsed with a stitch.
But classmate Julian Otu, also 10, came to his rescue - carrying him in his arms.
The gesture came during an inter-school race in Grimsby and was captured by local newspaper photographer Jon Corken.
The youngster, a pupil at Allerton Primary School in Immingham, told the Sun newspaper: "I'd rather not have won and helped my friend than leave him there."
Julian's act of kindness was likened to that of Alistair Brownlee helping his exhausted brother Jonny over the finishing line at the Triathlon World Series in Mexico - sacrificing his own chance of winning
