This happened many years ago but it is still as fresh as today when everyone would just express the same kind of kindness and compassion to others no matter what.
"You can never be compassionate enough or too kind if that's how you are and that's how you live your life."
Jacqueline Nyetipei Kiplimo did something that stunned the world during the 2010 Zheng-Kai Marathon when she witnessed a disabled competitor struggling to drink water who was a double amputee.
Instead of seeing her moment to run ahead of this struggling athlete, she ran alongside him from the 6.2-mile mark to the 23-mile mark (10km mark to the 38km mark), helping him drink water at all of the watering stations.

The aide that she so compassionately provided her fellow competitor slowed her run time down and caused her to lose her first place position and place 2nd in the race — costing her the win and the $10,000 cash prize.
Jacqueline Nyetipei Kiplimo showed the world that day that to her, being compassionate and helping one another was more important than winning a race that she had been preparing for her entire life.
Now, this is what a true leader looks like, one that never leaves someone disadvantaged behind.
Thank you all so much for your precious time reading this post.
God be with you all always in all ways.
In light and love,
Elizabeth
