A Father's Love For His Son

A touching story about a father and his son.

Twenty years ago Rick Hoyt ran a 5k while pushing his disabled son in a wheelchair.

After the race his son told him that while racing he did not feel disabled.

They have since competed in over a hundred triathlons and marathons together.

Saw it before you posted it - yeah, break.com is one of my morning wakeup stops. :)

I'll admit - I sat there in tears watching this father and son team. I went to their website, www.teamhoyt.com, so I could read more about them, and I have to tell you that they're going to be on my mind for a long time. Next time I get to thinking that my job is difficult, I'll remember them.
