You probably can’t pronounce her name and you've probably never heard it- I hadn’t.
I came across this picture from the Paralympics last week and
it grabbed my attention.
I started researching who this was and was intrigued by what was going on in this picture. 
I found out this is Trerzinha Guilhermina. She's 34, was born blind in Minas Gerais, Brazil and has twelve siblings... five of whom are also blind.
She is now a Paralympic sprinter. And the man on the right is her guide, Soares de Santana.
They
run hand and hand through every race, every meet, every Paralympics.
They spend countless hours training together and during the race are
literally attached at the wrist.
But this year in London for the first time during a race they broke apart.

But that wasn't the pair's last race. They went on to win two gold medals. One in the 100M and one in the 200M. Oh yeah and they broke a world record.
2012 marked the first Paralympics that guides were eligible to receive
medals. And just like always Trerzinha and Soares held hands, this time
on top of the medal stand, receiving gold for Brazil.
I would resize your photos so they fit into the story block.

you probably have never heard it - a little awkward, you may want to move have to before probably and at that point could use you've
Minas Gerais Brazil - needs a comma
and and through - hand
On the fall you should explain what happened and what it meant for the athletes.
Also, you should explain some of the rules of the race because most people don't know Paralympic rules.
