Dick Hoyt – World’s Strongest Dad

Dan Motivation 2006-10-26

How’s this for inspiration? A friend in my class sent me this link about father and son, Dick and Rick Hoyt. Rick is Dick’s disabled son. Together, they have completed eight Ironman’s and 85 marathons, including a best of 2:40 in Boston. Check it out here: http://cjcphoto.com/can/. Watch the video at the end too… I hate to admit it, but it brought a tear to my eye. 🙂

PS – If you have trouble with that link, the video is also on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f4B-r8KJhlE.

    That was a really great story man. To have the courage and the strength to do that for his son is completely inspirational to me. Thanks for sharing!
