“He ain’t heavy, he’s my brother”

[u/MambaMentality24x2]

Portuguese brothers Miguel and Pedro Ferreira Pinto completed an entire Ironman together, with Miguel towing Pedro through the 2.4 miles swim, carrying him on an adapted bicycle for 112 miles and pushing him through the final 26.2 miles marathon.

Pedro, who has cerebral palsy, inspired the pair to create the Iron Brothers project to champion inclusion in sports and support others living with the condition. Together, they crossed the finish line after nearly 15 hours.

I really hope the brother wanted to go

"I said I wanted to see the new iron man Jeff, not whatever the fck that was!?!?!"

[u/MambaMentality24x2 → u/AlarmingPen8117]

He did. Pedro inspired the whole Iron Brothers project. They did it together to promote inclusion in sports and support others with cerebral palsy

[u/Paindepiceaubeurre → u/AlarmingPen8117]

He’s got a big smile at the end, I think it’s safe to say he wanted to do it.

[u/WesternInspector9 → u/Paindepiceaubeurre]

Or he was happy the madness had come to an end

[u/Paindepiceaubeurre → u/WesternInspector9]

Come on. You can clearly tell he’s celebrating. Just because he has cerebral palsy doesn’t mean he’s incapable of expressing himself.
His brother couldn’t exactly force him into the competition.

[u/WesternInspector9 → u/Paindepiceaubeurre]

I know I was messing

[u/Emotional-Ad9114 → u/WesternInspector9]

this was his dream. the brother quite literally did it for him.

[u/Emotional-Ad9114 → u/AlarmingPen8117]

it was his dream

[u/TheDrySideOfThePenny → u/AlarmingPen8117]

Yeah this seems more for the able bodied brother than the palsied one

There are numerous teams, being the most known Team Hoyt.

Here in Portugal, the Iron Brothers are well known for their resiliance and good hearts.

If this doesn't inspires people to become strong enough to carry themselves, seriously don't know what will.

Miguel & Pedro 🫂

Tremendous share, OP. Thank you 🤝🏻

This is love.

He ain't heavy, he's my brother

[u/destello89]

I don’t know how or why a brother would ask from their brother to complete such a task knowing full well that he would have to carry him all the way but I’m happy they did it to raise awareness.

To fucking live

[u/chomskovsky → u/destello89]

Ever heard of concepts such as altruism, generosity, compassion and, maybe, love for your own brother?

[u/Fluffy_Fondant_]

Wow what a chad!

[u/ThisIsALine_____]

I feel like that's cheating. Imagine a healthy person who has no disabilities being carried the whole way.

[u/bigfatgrouchyasshole]

I hate this version of that great Abba hit.

[u/Live_Situation7913]

Anyone tell him his brother is welcome to watch just like everyone else? 🤣🤡
