Yeva Klingbeil is helped across the finish line by her teammates in a touching video.
A video of three schoolgirls helping their teammate, who is recuperating from cancer, complete a race in a track-and-field race in New York s Capital District is going viral on social media. Shared by former American professional basketball player Rex Chapman, the video showed three students holding the hands of their teammate, Yeva Klingbeil, and walking by her side to help her complete the 4x1 relay.
As the students from Shenendehowa High School cross the finishing line, a huge round of applause comes their way from the audience and several students run to congratulate them. The students then surround Ms Klingbeil, who used to be a part of the school s cross-country team, and shout her name to praise her indomitable spirit.
In a beautiful moment captured on video, three runners on the Shenendehowa girls track and field team locked arms with a fellow student batting cancer, helping her cross the finish line at a meet on Monday afternoon. The clip has gone viral and for good reason; it s a touching moment that gave chills to the hundreds of thousands of people who have watched it.
Yeva Klingbeil, a senior at Shen, was diagnosed with jaw cancer a year-and-a-half ago. Saddled with treatments, she s had a difficult time swallowing and breathing on her own, let alone competing in track and field events at Shen, which was something she did until she was given her cancer diagnosis.
New York HS Cancer-Stricken Runner Crosses Finish Line With Relay Team
On 5/25/21 at 2:21 AM EDT
Anyone who thinks athletes are all about themselves have never seen a kid with cancer run a football 50 yards for a touchdown in a colossal stadium to cap a college team s spring game. They ve never seen a child with Down s syndrome sink a basket and watch everyone from both teams celebrate.
And they ve never seen anything like what happened on a track near Albany, New York, where Yeva Klingbeil recently crossed the finish line with her school s sprint relay team.
Klingbeil, a senior at Shenendehowa High School, used to be a part of the school s cross country team. A year and a half ago, she was diagnosed with rhabdomyosarcoma, which is a rare, cancerous mass near her jaw. She began chemotherapy, which eventually led to damage in her brain stem. All of a sudden, Klingbeil felt weak, had problems breathing and couldn t swallow food or fluids.
