I hadn't seen the video Bea posted before, but when I did, I had to figure out who it was. So, I visited the site where she found the video. Figured out who the people where, and googled their name. (Yes, I know I am a Geek. That's what I get paid for...) Their names are Dick and Rick Hoyt. They are Team Hoyt. They have completed in over 900 races, ridden a bicycle across America, and competed in the Boston Marathon for the past 27 years save 2 when one or the other was unable to compete.
Their story is amazing. I won't retell it all here, but you can read more at their website (www.teamhoyt.com). Dick is the father, and Rick is the son. Rick has Cerebral Palsy along with several other disabling conditions. Dick is a father determined to see his son included in everything, regardless of the person sacrifice required. What an amazing example of what our Father has sacrificed for us.
