Differently Challenged but Differently Winners
9-yr-old Helps Disabled Brother Finish Triathlons
Over
the weekend, brothers Cayden and Connor Long joined hundreds of other children
as they competed in the first annual New England Kids Triathlon in Cambridge.
The boys did not win the event -- they didn't even come close. But that didn't stop them from winning hearts across the Internet.
The Long brothers are not your typical triathletes. Six-year-old Cayden has cerebral palsy and can neither walk nor talk. But thanks to the dedication of his older brother, Connor, the young boy has participated in several triathlons. A touching video and article outlining their journey on Daily Good website.

India amidst drinking water crisis
According to a report published today in The Economic Times, India is in for a drinking water crisis. With rainfall 40% below average in key crop-growing areas in north and northwest, India's 84 important reservoirs have been filled only to 19% of their capacity which is 41% lower than last year.The reservoir situation, the report states, is similar to conditions in 2009 when the country faced one of the worst droughts in 100 years, which will impact agriculture as well as the power sector.
