I can't help but wonder what his time would be if he wasn't carrying around his son.

[aloni1988]

@Trollioli

he could not bring himself to finish the race without his son...

WHATS THE SONG BEHIND?

[GoWithTh3Flow]

@threpsi

"I can only Imagine" by Mercy Me

[Spid3R100]

5 people don't imagine....

[pretzelzetzel]

Yikes, people... kids likely come to watch this kind of video. You complain about people disliking or removing this kind of thing, but you're alright with swearing at children?

Please upvote this, just to clear the profanity out of the top comments.

[modelzero1]

@pretzelzetzel well it isn't directed at children and i believe the swearing used was justified in an expressive from of disgust and if they don't already understand profanity and times to use it then their parents should screen the content that they view first, there is absolutely nothing wrong with profanity its an expression of freedom of speech

[BobbyJoeBeck]

Love the video. Brought tears to my eyes. The dad is a true lion and the son is incredibly courageous and inspirational.

On the other hand, I'm not quite sure what Jesus and all his glory and praising him and worshiping him has to do with a dad's strength and determination when faced with his son's debilitating disease. The praise and worship go to the father and son team... Not to a character in a violent/primitive story book.

[modelzero1]

@BobbyJoeBeck i totally agree mate fed up of retards posting on these videos telling us to thank god wtf has god done, if anything god gave the father a giant middle finger, people need to stop relying on fictional characters as justifications for greatness and evils, anyone who thanks god for derek and ricks strength is insulting there achievements and bravery

[BobbyJoeBeck]

@modelzero1 wow my man. Completely agree with you too. God gave his son this terrible disease and it's a testament to the dad, not God, that he does what he does for his son. This video shows the greatness of humans when face with less than fortunate circumstances, not the greatness of God. People also forget that yes, this story is awesome, but there are millions of disabled people all over the world who don't have a father like this and are left to suffer alone.

[peke226]

Esto es genial!!!! (amo esta historia) terminé de leer el libro, y me inspiró demasiado.... !

[fractaloide]

I hope someday be half the man Mr. Hoyt is.

[017joshua]

what song is this?

[TheWoWSisters]

My cooking teacher showed us this video in cooking, because somebody was complaining about not having something. She said this should inspire us and it did, after the class I went up to her and I told her, My brother is an inspiration to me, he lost half his brain, and his right side doesn't work properly. He is remaining strong and I will always love him and love why he fights for what he wants. Next time you complain about not having something, think about what you have and what others don't.

[shakat6964]

why can people just leave the negitive stuff off of here and let those who enjoy this, do just that enjoy it. why do people have to be mean and call names and almost degrade this? this is inspirational to alot of people and gives us something positive to look forward to.. like hope in a time like now where people are struggleing with something different everyday. it is stuff like this that makes me slow down and think about life and what i could do to be better. praise you both

[SuperKUREL]

this is my hero....

[Natalia2312paat]

;')

[raikarayane]

qual nome desta música?

[Gbf31]

If this still isn't. it should be a movie.

[Natalia2312paat]

just make me cry

[Brad17422]

Dick i would like to say thank you to you you are an insperation to other parents with special needs children when i see rick it is like looking at my own son. They are an insperation themselfs and that is what keeps us going and trying to include them in every aspect of life that some parents dont bother trying to include there children in. Seeing someone working so hard for his son will make me work even harder. My son doesnt see himself as disabled and i would bet that your son doesnt either.

[tsvegie]

Dudeheimer...I don't know if you are a christian or not.. But I just want to say May god continue to bless you and watch over you and your family. however if you are not i am very happy that youb are a good father and you are a living prove of anyone can be a good person and not blame others for thier bringing. All the best...you are certainly A Good Daddy and your kids are luck to have you. Stay Blessed.

[CRACKHORSE123]

guys a fag

[Brad17422]

@CRACKHORSE123 You need to grow up You dont have a clue you little piss ant. the dedication that this guy puts into his son with a disability is unbelievably heroic. If you had an ounce of good in you you would not post something so idiotic and vulgar about someone like dick hoyt

[CRACKHORSE123]

@Brad17422 you sound upset

[hotnovel]

@CRACKHORSE123 ?

[ACTS2619]

just a note: GOD will destroy His foes, and tread them forever in the fierce winepress of the Wrath of GOD Almighty. JESUS rISen LORD

13He is clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God. 15From His mouth comes a sharp sword, so that with it He may strike down the nations, and He will rule them with a rod of iron; and He treads the wine press of the fierce wrath of God, the Almighty. Revelation 19:13, 15 He is KING OF kings, and LORD OF lords

[hotnovel]

@ACTS2619 what a load of bullshit,

[salvation3037]

Extreme Dad!

[FREDERICGUILBERT]

The most wonderful Dad is the Heavenly Father called Abba but this human example shows the love, patience.Be blessed in Jesus name.

[28melz]

@LetsRide20 You just have no idea of what the hell you are talking about!!!! bless you!

[tay1rbaylr]

@johnF30music

This song is an amazing song, it's talks about life, not this crappy world today but true life, they chose this song because it shows the true and amazing life of Ricky Hoyt

[irunhurdles]

@johnF30Music songs of jesus are not for everyone. I don't listen to those songs myself, but I don't stop people who need or believe in him. If you look at their website they use that song. I only hope that if Dick and Rick need and believe in him and this is what eases their life's journey. Find the patients for them. I can't image . . .

[JohnF30Music]

what the FUCK is up with the jesus song? That's the gayest thing ever and completely destroyed the visual experience for me. Big shame that human courage is associated with superstition and religious fairytales.

[d4n2008]

How can you dislike this?

This is truly, truly amazing.

[AACMAC]

touching, brilliant, unbelievable, only question i have is whats the name of the song

[d4n2008]

@AACMAC I can only imagine by MercyMe i think.

[l3usStop]

[likarushia02]

my brother is crying that song and the video

:'-(

[dudenheimer1]

I grew up in foster homes...always wondering who my father was,what he was doing-and where he was...I learnt that he lived on the streets and chose drinking over his own kids,3 of us...when I was 19 I met him for the first time,and he had nothing to say to me.I now have 2 babies,a girl who is almost 2,and a son,who is 5mths.old...and a step daughter who is 5yrs.old.Now I get to be a HERO,and be there for them,and laugh,and sing...Hearing"Daddy-you're a GOOD DADDY"from a 5yr.old is AWESOME! : )

[steveOo0o]

@dudenheimer1 No one cares about your sob story.

[sarge22able]

@steveOo0o No one cares about your commet so SHUT UP

[steveOo0o]

[20future10]

Ha ők meg tudták csinálni... a legkevesebb, hogy befogom a szám és utánuk csinálom... és még akkor sem érek fel az öreg térdéig sem :(

[friggya]

Love beyond words! Few have the capacity to love like this but all should make it their goal... tears and more tears, I am humbled!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[unnuagedelait]

What a father, so much love and courage, so much strength

And what a son, could be tempting for him to let it go, both are wonderful, something is good in human kind

(sorry for my english i 'm french)

[louis11125]

wtf is funny koreanitalian2 you fucking fagget.

[Lossariel]

Hi!I am from Germany.

Yes, we can! We cann everything we want, but we have to overcome the inner temptations.

I don´t know if this is correct english.

Greats

[Mickethemad]

i dont get anything about this shit xD

[slowcrow69]

Wow!!!  True love can take you far, this world needs more dad's like this man.

[oldjerrytube]

Very Inspiring

[TheLindsey9]

[MatthewJayB]

The amount of respect i have for this father and son is endless. Inspiring stuff, really really heart warming.

[beastson]

[bahamofo]

im with you on that one.

[kennahgirl12]

Thanks!

[dontneedwork91]

Maybe you shouldn't be such a fucking skank, sleeping with any man with $5. Maybe then would your father respect you.

[watev737]

hey thats my best friend and you need to stop putting people down like that. cant believe you. so do us all a favor and find something better to do then pick on little girls.

-c-

[watev737]

that was for 'dont need work91' guys so sorry but dont do the little thumbs down thing.

[sk8er93250]

good video

[bahamofo]

For a guy who doesnt ever cry this video brings a tear to my eye. Show's a fathers love for his son.... Very touching to me because If I only had 1/100th of the love from this father to his son unlike my father it would mean so much.

[sequiaonda78]

I didi cry for almost 10 mins after i saw this absolutly amazing video.. perhaps the most beautiful video of the world... very touching and inspiring.. 1000000% love it,

[3rdEyeVision]

what is the purpose to this competition?

is it to prove the love he has for his son?

[bahamofo]

if you look up his name it will tel you what its about. I do believe its about his sons illness. His son is the one who wants to do it each year and make it known that you can do what ever you want if you only believe. Look up Dick hoyt... then you'll see what I'm talking about.

[pejeno]

Every time I watch this video I burst into tears. Such a beautiful video...

[pejeno]

Yeah, I had favorited this video from another user as well, and had it in a playlist, but the world triathlon corporation got it removed. Greedy bastards this is non-profit, WHY THE HELL DONT YOU GET IT?? >:-@

YOUTUBE: PLEASE APPLY THE SAFE HARBOUR IN VIDEOS LIKE THIS ONE, FOR GOD'S SAKE.

[12breian]

Thank you for posting this up. YouTube has removed this clip so many times because CNN or some TV station claims the copyright infringements of this video. No one is trying to make money playing this clip. People post this clip for inspiration. Hey YouTube, pass my comments to those who are claiming the copyright infringements and I wish those people trip over and break their 2 front teeth!!!

[newfoundlandjb35]

he certainly loves his son thats for sure, so sweet.

[koreanitalian2]

i cried because i wish my father would love me so much

[koreanitalian2]

lol!

[divorceddawg]

That is the most amazing thing I have ever seen.  Go Team Hoyt!

[allycatsownz]

3:24 and on is the MOST POWERFUL thing i have ever seen

[Wattup123]

this is a very powerful video

[zavoc1234]

this video rreally giving me motivation for me...THANK YOU I almost give up my dream...but i see hope again...a million THANKS!

[Cacaulol]

Muito lindo !

[kpavfly]

You are a true moron, TheAmusingCorpse, to post such an unfounded and crude comment. Possibly you could spend more time working on healing your wounded soul (possibly from being molested yourself?) and less time trying to defame such an inspirational man? Get a life...

[puppycatnat]

aww, that was so sweet. it was heartwarming too. whoever thinks this video is bad, doesn't know the meaning of love.

[lilsaintmen]

Pena estes pais serem raros...a pais k n kerem saber minimamente ds filhos...nfim...

[Jimster010]
