A London Marathon runner sacrificed his race time when he slowed to assist a fellow runner struggling to finish the race's final stretch.
As the BBC reports (http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-wales-39686037), Matthew Rees came to David Wyeth's aid just short of the finish line.*
A clip of the moment shows Rees guiding Wyeth toward the end of the race, before a marathon volunteer comes to assist. Together they helped Wyeth finish out the race.
