Man pushes cousin 42km in Melbourne Marathon, carries him over line

Key points

• Brisbane man Nick Morrison pushed his 21-year-old cousin, Toby Holt, in a wheelchair for the 42.2 kilometres of the Melbourne Marathon. Mr Holt, from Wagga Wagga, has juvenile Huntington's disease, a rare hereditary condition with no cure.
• Mr Morrison lifted him out of the chair just before the finish line so they could cross it together.
• The pair have raised more than $4,000 for Huntington's Australia, the national peak body supporting people with the disease and their families.
