The special friendship between two 14-year-olds was on display during a Special Olympics event at North Rose-Wolcott High School in New York.
Max has Fragile X Syndrome, a genetic condition that affects his intellect, and Marvin is on the Autism spectrum, according to Matt Molloy of Rochester's WHAM. After Marvin fell behind in one of the races, Max grabbed his hand and ran alongside him to the finish line.
