2/26/2013

Talk about a supportive boyfriend. Check out this inspirational snap of Nick Zaunbrecher helping his girlfriend, Monique Koll, cross the finish line of the Rock 'n' Roll New Orleans Half Marathon on Sunday. Koll, 35, was hit by a car in October while riding her bike, shattering three vertebrae and injuring her spinal cord. After pushing Monique in her wheelchair for 13 miles, Koll stood and, with help from Zaunbrecher, walked across the finish line. "Nick was amazing," Koll said. "I was exhausted at that point in the race, but it was a very emotionally-charged moment." For his part, "I was just there to help," Nick said, making women everywhere yearn for a devoted heartthrob just like him. [Source]
