A Journey of Life Together
A True Story of a Father and Son –
DICK and RICK HOYT
One day a son asks his father: “Daddy, will you run the MARATHON with me?” The father answers yes and both run their first marathon together.
Then one day the son asks his father, again: “Daddy, will you run the IRONMAN with
me?” (the Ironman is the toughest...it requires a 4km swim, 180km biking and 42km running).
The father says yes again.
And here's a very touching line:
“Dad,” Rick typed, “when we were running, it felt like I wasn't disabled
anymore!”
