A great story from so many angles. But it’s not news to most of us that the policemen are actually good dudes. No doubt the Obamas, Holders, and Sharptons of the world would have you believe something sinister is afoot.
Proud for the officer, the son, and especially Asia Ford. I’d like to see an update about her continued transformation after next year’s race.
Via Wave3News: VIRAL PHOTO: Hand in hand, police and race participant cross finish line together
A powerful photo from the Rodes City Run is making its way around Louisville social networks.
Asia Ford trained for the race for months. Approaching mile five, she began to have difficulty breathing.
As she struggled step by step, she felt a hand grab her hand. Lt. Aubrey Gregory of the Louisville Metro Police Department had been looking out for Asia from afar.
“The EMS guys got out to check on her and she said I’m not stopping, I’m not stopping,” said Lt. Gregory, “so I said I’m not going to let her stop we’re going to do this together. So I got out and I grabbed her hand. I had to meet this inspirational woman.”
For Asia, quitting was not an option. She has lost 217 pounds in her journey to healthier life, and she hopes to inspire her three children.
“He was like my angel,” said Ford. “He came at the moment I really needed him.”
Ford said Lt. Gregory shared stories of his mother and her struggle with diabetes. Step after step, Ford realized Lt. Gregory had kept her mind off the pain – and on the goal. Hand in hand, Asia, Lt. Gregory and Asia’s son Terrance crossed the finish line.
“Watching her cross the finish line,” said Lt. Gregory, “I felt it all over. it was great moment and I’m glad she let me be a part of it.”
Beautiful. ” If you have done it to the least of these you have done it to Me.” Jesus Christ
