根据短文内容回答下列问题。
An eight-year-old boy, Alex, has a plan to help his best friend, Lily, live a more independent life. Lily was born with spinal muscular atrophy, a rare disease that makes her muscles (肌肉) very weak. She cannot walk or move by herself and must use a wheelchair. Her present wheelchair is old and uncomfortable, and it does not meet her daily needs, which makes it difficult for her to go to school or play with friends.
Alex decided to take action. He set a challenge for himself: to run a total of 22 miles over six weeks in order to raise enough money to buy Lily a new wheelchair. His father encouraged him from the beginning. “Helping others is important,” his father said, “and it makes you feel strong inside.” Alex trained carefully every day, even when the weather was cold or rainy.
Lily was very touched by his efforts. “I’m proud of Alex,” she said. “He runs so fast and raises money for me. I feel really happy. Every time he runs, we cheer together, ‘Go, Alex, go!’”
The new wheelchair costs 2,000, but Alex is already close to reaching his goal thanks to donations from neighbours, friends and schoolmates. When asked why Lily is such a good friend, Alex explained, “She is always kind to me. We play together, talk about everything, and share secrets. She’s my best friend.”
Alex also described how he finds strength during his runs: “Sometimes it’s really hard to keep running, and my legs feel tired, but I think _______________. That thought keeps me going.”

In my opinion, true friendship means supporting each other and being honest all the time.
Last term, I failed my math exam and felt really upset. My best friend stayed with me after school, helped me review knowledge and encouraged me not to give up. With his help, I made great progress later.
From this experience, I learn that a true friend will stand by you when you meet trouble. We should cherish our true friends and treat them sincerely.
