When I heard about the act of kindness this young girl performed in her track race, I was amazed and overcome with emotion. What a wonderful act of kindness!
Meghan Vogel might have won the state title for the 1600 meter race, but the track star is probably receiving more attention for her extraordinary act of kindness toward another competitor.
After winning her event on Saturday, the Ohio teen was participating in the 3200 meter race when competitor Arden McMath fell just meters from the finish line, the Springfield News-Sun reports.
Vogel soon came to her aid, carrying the fallen runner to the end of the track, where she guided her across the finish line -- ahead of herself.

Community comes together to help family of 6-year-old killed while crossing the street
Students and faculty at Whittier Elementary School are heartbroken by the loss of 6-year-old Ambrosia Amalatitoda .
The little girl was hit while crossing State Street at about 1500 South on March 14, and died the next day. As a way to help students deal with the tragedy the school organized a donation drive for her funeral expenses Friday.
On a cart, a picture of Ambrosia is surrounded by signs of caring along with buckets of spare change and envelopes filled with dollar bills. Dozens of her classmates came forward with money from their piggy banks and their pocket change to help Ambrosia's family. Parents, teachers, and students donated more than $1,000.
This was a hard article to read because I have a 6 year old and I can only imagine the heartache this poor family is going through. I was happy to see how people are reaching out to help them.

People reach out to a Family who experiences 2 Losses
I was amazed at this blog I found a couple of weeks ago. First because of what had happened to their family--first their 10 year old son passed away and then 3 months later the dad passed away. I can't even imagine the pain and sorrow their family must be going through. I've been following her blog and I was so impressed that a bunch of people in their community volunteered their time and services to completly finish their unfinished yard for them. They added special touches like a remembrance garden. This is truly Kindness in Action! To read about them click HERE
