A New York City Marathon spectator who had just cheered on 24-year-old Rachel Apa moments before she collapsed Sunday, revealed that she rushed to her side, held her hand and told her “she wasn’t alone. ” Hospital social worker Michaela Nicholas and her fiancé had initially planned to stay on the sidelines of the marathon just briefly but after getting “drawn in by the energy of New York City,” the couple decided to continue cheering near a marker that told the runners they were only 2. 2 miles from the finish line, the Daily Mail reported.
