I cried when I saw the picture of Jack Ridenour helping Jackson Diffenderfer on the track at Warwick High School (âHearing the cheers,â May 9 Sunday LNP | LancasterOnline).
Kudos to Jackâs parents for raising such a caring, considerate person; to Jack himself for showing compassion to a fellow classmate; and to Warwick and the other schools for starting the Unified sports program so everyone can participate.
Thank you for the touching story and pictures.

The investigators reportedly grabbed control of the TV remote, convinced business owners or staff to stream the event, or pursued other means, defendants told The Arizona Republic and other news organizations.
