  • @themangodess I think:

    God is as a father

    The father of the people on this whole world is God

    So, he is a father to his child, an great father, and God is also the father of these two people.

  • this man is a hero ! my respect for him !!

  • My respects to this men! :)

  • can we please change the title? It says "Marathon". It should say "Triathlon"

  • @06ek293 *ironman. i did my first half ironman a few weeks ago, its hard enough just by yourself. this guy is THE MAN!

  • Wow!!! I love this song and singer and whoever put this together!!! And whoever that person who commented about the person who put this together as a dumbass you I feel very sorry for you and yours will come to you and when it does we will not feel sorry for you at all.

  • the father carried the son, not jesus.

  • so touching....

  • The "Lord" didn't do anything to contribute. The Flying Spaghetti Monster, however...

    I kid. But seriously, it was all the dad's work, divine intervention had nothing to do with it.

  • seems like the muscle guy did all the work

  • Fuck u ass holes who r talking shit about this this video shows how this kids dad is one of the best dads in the world I'm pretty sure u haters couldnt even finish the iron man challenge this video was heart warming and brilliant

  • i find this despicable.

    This man was wondrous, he is a true father and hero with a son who clearly drives him and their relationship is beautiful.

    to suggest at the end that god did any of this just outright insane.

    I cried,

    not because i saw a miracle of god but because this video gives me faith in humanity, faith in the goodness of people.

    beautiful.

  • A ten star dad, but the question, just who is responsible for the sorry state of his son, continues to bother. I agree with mattmossop, this should not have been turned into a religious message. The bond between father and son exists in all cultures.

  • Who the fuck is cutting onions in here?

  • Fucking asshole son didn't help.

    

  • The father did it!

    Not god!

  • No..

    You really ended this video giving praise to God and not the father?

    You are a dumbass. Please refrain from breathing, it really offends me.

  • @themangodess All glory to the Lord.

  • @themangodess

    no..

    you need to get your priorities straight, man or woman, seems like your not even sure what you are with a name like mangodess... Show some respect. you must be compensating for something, or jealous with rude, self-conscious comments like those. Soli Deo Gloria.

  • @themangodess I think he mentioned god because he's our father (as he believes, you might not)

  • Beautiful video showing the complexity and capabilities of the human species. This has nothing to do with God, and everything to do with what we are capable of when we have faith in ourselves and others.

  • @RustyGonzo no you're wrong, we can't do anything without God.. they have finished the race because they have FAITH in God that He will help them

  • @RustyGonzo

    wrong.

  • whos chopping onions!!?

  • Too bad they had to turn this into a religious message. Other than that, great video.

  • humanity can have a heart.

  • i've cried my heart out :')

    i admire them both !

  • This is true REALITY! No TV staging - just love for his son.

  • A father's love. Think about that.

  • WOW!

    BROUGHT TEARS TO MY EYES!

  • fucking legend... 18 people can go elsewhere

  • 18 personas nunca han amado en su vida.

  • This gives me strength I never knew I had ... Thank You both Father and Son

  • To anyone who doubts the power of a mans love and commitment or has at one time in there life WATCH this!! Incredible man and incredible son.

  • Well I know there's at least 18 people without souls. GOD SPEED EVERYONE

  • Brilliant and Beautiful!

  • wow! it a great event! I love this.. I remember my dad who died when I am 8 years old. I am so thankful that I have a dad like HIM coz he really LOVE his Daughter and Son! even though he is not here I always remember that he is at my Side alway. We Love You Dad!!!

  • Emotional! Powerful! Tears of joy dripping onto my keyboard now... Thanks for this :-) Lets have a race with the Fat Cat CEOs carrying a crippled foreclosure bank into the ATM machine ALL 3 LANES!!!! On Pay Per View-We could payoff the national debt with the box office take. Hey Don King how about putting together the "matches" ? (nudge-nudge wink-wink:-)

  • I love my father! 

  • @libertineinthemini Hahahahahahah

  • @libertineinthemini what the fuck?

  • this is one the most powerful videos i have ever seen - just incredible

  • This clip is very touching, and it makes my cry. Dick and Rick hoyt are best father and son I've seen in my life. Wish you all the best !!!

  • wow

  • el ejemplo mas grandioso de amor !!!

  • I truly feel sorry for anyone who was not touched by this video or who disliked it because it shows no empathy on their part. If you don't have strong emotions for a story like this then either you experienced a sad childhood yourself or you grew up to be an adult who will probably never experience the happy things in life that make other people happy and grateful for.

  • If this doesn't bring tears to your eyes and help to put life in perspective, I doubt anything will. How wonderful is that??

  • Video makes me tear up. Don't care what anyone says.

  • Man now I feel sad but nevertheless I'm proud of the dad now that is a true father and a winner

  • yes this would make a wonderful movie!!!!  God Bless u both abundantly!!!

  • whoever dislikes this is not human

  • So powerful and reminiscent of His carrying us when we are unable to run the race on own on. What comfort knowing that love that is unconditional of our sins and weaknesses....God's love for us.

  • Really Inspiring... i almost cry, guess this video show how a Father love his son and do everything for him.... Even if death is the price he will still do it... Truly inspiring... Truly God has a reason for everything, besides his love bypasses everything... I Love my Saviour...

  • I am confused reading the comments. Was the father or the son the one with the the heart condition?

  • @N01Denise son.

  • it was so inspirational! the bonding between father and son despite of the condition of his son and it touches my heart when i see his son enjoying the race a smile in his face and raising his hands to the finish line. i hope i could run together w/ my family even i encourage them to run w/ me i always running alone because of the busy life today it's hard for them to find time for bonding and maybe that's why someone dislike this. thanks for this wonderful video!

  • Comment removed

  • Best video ever...

  • the people who dislike it are intimidated and jealous of God, the father and son and their relationship, and all of us who think they are great. Or they may just be 13-14 year old kids thinking its funny to hit dislike button

  • Thank you

  • fuck.had me teary eyed in 30 secs

    

  • The father in this video is a reflection of the love and support that the Father has for us all. Beautiful and inspiring!! {:)

  • Great video, but the song needs to go!

  • This is heart breaking..what a man...He is something special...He IS a True LEGEND!!!

  • This shows the great love of a father to his special son,.He always agree whenever he has a heart problem,.A great father who will sacrifice himself to the happiness of his son like Jesus, he sacrifices himself in the cross to save us from sins,.To those who watch this video, please press the "Like" button,.To those who dislike this video, you don't realize what a great love of a father gives his son just to make him happy,. Thanks for this video InTouchWithHIM

  • simply amazing. jesus lives in all of us.

  • OMG... THIS IS SO SAD. THE WORLDS GREATEST DAY. BLESS THEM.. I CANT STOP CRYING

  • @jessele1000 dude its not sad at all.

  • i wish i could be with my papa once more .. :((

  • I read that his father died few months after the marathon!!! :(

  • very beautiful in the world

    Your Father love you very very much

  • Ist es nicht schrecklich, wie dieser sportverrückte Vater seinen Sohn mitschleppt? Wer weiß ob es dem Sohn gefällt oder er den Stress genießt. Vielleicht hätte er viel lieber seine Ruhe? Vielleicht will er nicht so im Internet dargestellt und ausgestellt werden? Ich bin selbst schwerbehindert und sehr froh, dass mein Vater mich nie als Ausstellungsstück mißbraucht hat.

  • Just curious how someone could dislike this? Or more so, 16 heartless people. Anything is truly possible!

  • wow im stuck for words ,one great farther one great son,two amazing athletes.

    

  • That's the sweetect thing. The father is really making sure the son feels special because of his condition. But that's a true dad!!!

  • TEARS OF JOY!

  • My dad didn't raised me,i did not grew up with him and.. When I look at this video, wish I had a father like him..Thats a true daddy. :') Bonito el vídeo.Everytime i watch it,it makes me cry.

  • @93GraCii Your Father in Heaven has raised you! You do have Your Father in Heaven.  Depend on your Father in Heaven....He is there for You!

  • @InTouchWithHIM

    True :D so true !!!!!!

  • @93GraCii You have a special place in gods heart my friend.

  • @93GraCii I totally agree with you, I come from exactly the same situation, growing up in a small city of 2.000 people my father could pass me on the street with his car without even waving to me

  • How can this 16 people dislike this???????

  • FDP CEUX QUI N'AIMENT PAS

    

  • HOW CAN YOU DISLIKE SOMETHING LIKE THIS ?!

  • this is the true face of true love

  • Wow - this shows just how beautiful the can be!

    Why dont we concentrate on things like this instead of violence and death.

  • 16 People don´t have heart

  • no words ever came from my mouth the first time i saw this except to cry and cry and cry! thanks for posting this video and thanks for showing the world the true meaning of LOVE!

  • who would you dislike this, really? there's something wrong with some people.

  • The best video i saw about them is called "bid me run" my wife said it was the best thing she ever saw. it's on here somewhere

  • 15 here had no father :(......This video made me cry......Showed me the true love...

  • Oh yes my redeemer Jesus Christ Lives. As Jesus said

    "Matthew 7:11

    King James Version 11If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?"

    and

    Luke 11:13

    King James Version 13If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?

    Love God, Jesus and Holy spirit and love others

  • 15 people lost the race

  • praise God this father in son is inspirational

  • weve wathch these on our retreat it made me cry....God bless..

  • YUNG 14 NA NG DISLIKE WALANG MODO!

  • now i know what's the real essence of a father.. this video made me cry a lot of times... miss my grand father

  • A dad that truly loves his son, simply amazing

  • @reddragonready First of all no one called anyone an idiot. your comment was idiotic not you as a person. Second I am not worried in the least bit. You missed the whole point of my comment not really surprised through closed minded people usually dont understand a whole lot of anything.. If you still don't get it I will explain it to you..

  • This Humans efforts are great.

  • this is absolutely inspiring the true bond of father and son

  • @reddragonready - If you do not believe in the concept of "Him," then just appreciate the fact that there is at least someone like the father in this video who still is a living proof that there is such a thing as unconditional love.

    And dying, by the way, is part of life. You cannot always blame "Him" for all the negativity in this world.

  • @chalkmag Same to you regarding your "death is part of life" remark as to the dsrtdog. I personally no more blame the non existing for the "negative" than I do for the "positive".

    But my sincere thanks to both of you for driving home the hypocrisy of this vid's kind of religious praise my comment was meant to point out. I knew I could rely on that kind of response :)

  • Wow, must be real important to "Him" that these guys run marathons when "He" lets other people just die from all kinds of diseases.

  • @reddragonready Are you kidding me? death is a part of life. Can you imagine the life that family has? the expenses alone having a handycapped child are more than the average family could deal with not to mention the emotional aspects and that is for a life time.. your comment is the most idiotic thing I have read in a while.. that is an amazing father who love his child unconditionally...

  • Comment removed

  • @dsrtdog41 Oh dear, I think you will find, if you read my comment properly and then read your own reply...you will find you got me beat there dude. :)

    But perhaps in your haste to call yet another person an "idiot" you failed to realize the significance of the use of capitals as well as the fact that the refusal to accept death being a reality of life is actually a concept religion was created to attempt to refute? Ah well, don't worry your pretty little head about THAT hon

  • Well. I cried. 

  • Glory to God! My name is Romy Gonzales, pastor to small local churches here in the Philippines. I was touched while watching this video alone in my prayer room. How great the love of a father for his son. A simple illustration of our Heavenly Father's LOVE for everyone of us. I am sharing this to all of my church members. I'm sure they'll be blessed too. Thanks to whoever is responsible for this beautiful video. God bless and use you more.. Glory to God!

  • I have seen this video dozens of times

    And it blows me away every time a watch it.. There's no greater bond than father and son!!

  • to the person who put this on youtube thank you so much for putting this on..i cry every time i watch this video..May God bless this father's heart and soul..and for al the haters out there u people ned Jesus in ur life...

  • his sons feliciity is more important to him than his own.

    THATs true love ♥!!!

  • GOD Bless Them...!this video is one of the few videos on youtube with real value....!!!!

  • words can't describe the love between the father and son, beautiful...i was on the brink of tears, this touched my heart, makes you question and appreciate your life...

  • Not sure if it was the music and the actual video, but I was almost on the brink of tears, very touching! True Love!!! thats all I can say.

  • I was so overwhelmed its hard to explain how i felt in words.....I have heard young chaps train close to a year to participate not to win the IRONMAN, Dick Hoyt have trained to win but to show the world there is more meaning to life...... Phil4.....When you say u can you sure can do it...........thats amazing video and its zillion times worth a watch....

  • Well usually i do not write some comments, cause am bit lazy ;-) , but as i saw this ...

    This is absolutely unbelievable, i am wordless i don know what to say .. maybe just this is a hero a real one and i hope there are more like him.

  • when I saw the video I got really start crying, I think it's crazy what the father does for his son, this story touched me very

  • /watch?v=LpWlOcgNc8Q

  • Not even 10 gold medals in the olympics,2 super bowl,3 nba championship,8 division belt in boxing. can't match the love of that father to his son. a real iron man physically and by heart.

  • Oh my Lord..How can anyone dislike this!? It's clear that those ppl have no soul, heart, and most of all: LOVE. I saw this story for a class I'm taking at the university, which is about understanding and learning the needs and ways of students and people with any disability. After seeing this, other than crying my heart out of joy and happiness, I understood how far a love of a real, responsable and loving father can go. Greetings from Puerto Rico and blessings to this wonderful man and son =D

  • Sorry, I threw up when I saw that there are 12 ppl on earth who have no heart at all...

  • naaawww that was sooo amazing! nothing but family love <3

  • Hi, its Dorothy, and i am proud to say i have found a summer camp, that is for people who cant afford to send them to other camps, i will be there with my son, all because you shared this video, i can not tell you how much this has changed my life and my sons life.....MY REDEEMER LIVES...........THANK YOU FROM MY FAMILY IN CANADA:)

  • Cried like a bitch at work after i watched this

  • Touching, inspiring, heart warming.

  • to mrmeninblackify - did you really kick your drug habit? How much more motivation do you need? I might even try and kick my alcohol problem :) Chez

  • My sister sent this to me months ago and everytime I feel like I could'nt be bothered - I watch this! And bloody hell! I cry every time! Best thing I've seen for a long time :) Chez

  • How can people dislike such an inspiring video? It shows the true lengths a parent is willing to go for for their child.

  • 感動

  • I would personally like those 12 people who dislike this video to post a video on youtube, STANDING IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA showing their face, and tell us why they are such bitches to dislike this.

  • Dorotyh,

    Absolutely wonderful what you are doing

    "It is the drops that makes the ocean" !

    Love

  • The father in this video is greater than any religious concept. Don't have to be a god to be inspiring.

  • Únglâublich_léûtê_sÙcht_mãl_nA­ch:_olikohle_Ãuf_g0oglË_võll_g­éÎl

  • I'm kicking my drug habit.

  • They should make a movie about this for all to see.

  • amazing

  • Wow,even though this video is so long..Im still touched and cried aftr watching this video..Nice song:D...

  • Best video ever. Simply...

  • Everyone can find something for themselves in this display of truly unconditional love. For some, the selflessness of the father makes them realize their selfishness so they dislike it. For the rest, it makes them realize they can be this selfless and they applaud it. I am with the rest.

  • Touching!!

  • really inspiring, really outstanding!!!

  • This shows such true love that a man has for his son and vice-versa. What a beautiful relationship. And for those that seem to put the father down, if you see some of the other videos, you will see that the son WANTED to do this with his father. No matter what it took, his dad was determined that they both do this. Just to see the smile of victory on his face when they crossed the finish line, made me smile and cheer and cry! God bless you both! You have won the race and been a testimony to me.

  • I still cant believe that people can thump down this video..

    I mean dont you have any feelings?

  • @dunkel25

    The Dad is being used as an example of Jesus' love for us.

  • Everytime I see this, I cry. I'm a 13 year old boy.

  • Touching video. Who's singing?

  • @dunkel25 You and all the people who liked your comment are sick unhearted people.

  • The 10 people who disliked this vid are sick nasty people!

  • This is one of my favourite Youtube videos. Sure I love the videos that make me laugh, but this is just amazing.

  • That is a REAL HARD MAN

  • Super DAD!!!!! What a great teaching...while others invade countries and kill innocent people...you are my real hero!!!

  • @dunkel25

    Have you consider the possibility the the life of Jesus is a metaphor for personal enlightenment. I'm not a Christian but I can see the value in the hidden teaching of that Christ and all the other Christs through out Humanity's history. I'm not going to get into a debate about this but I felt your comment is a little harsh in this setting.

  • Love can transmute all, love is all we need, love is all there is.

  • 932 good people and 10 evil. sad. One day every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is lord of lords and king of kings.. and thats the fact of the matter. GREAT VIDEO! what a dad!

  • ...a triathlete.

  • To whomever said this was a triathlon, yes you are right, it is technically but the Ironman is known worldwide as the hardest and longest of them all. There are many distances for tri's and race with any distance in the categories can be called a triathlon as long as there is a swim, bike and run. So to just call this a triathlon is someone insulting to the Ironman finisher. (my husband is one of the few than can call himself an Ironman as well). Trust me, being an Ironman is nothing like being

  • Amazing video. I wish I knew more about this family. They are so inspiring to me.

  • I saw this at church yesterday. It had evryone in tears. It's amazing. It took my breath away. You two are what many others need. You deserved that award! I LOVE YOU! It is truly amazing!

  • @dunkel25 .........And who was pushing the father?....Our redeemer:).......I love you, even though you dont know me and dont care, i do......IF YOU ARE QUESTIONING YOUR SELF, ITS BECAUSE YOU KNOW ITS TRUE....GOD IS SO GOOD,........

  • Well,....for the millions of us that know JESUS does live, Thank YOU LORD, for the strength, confidence, inspiration, fortitude and faith that YOU have placed in and called out of this dad. Thank YOU JESUS!!!

  • Now THAT'S a DAD!

  • 10 dislikes????????? have a nice time in hell were you belong .That is what you call a dad!!! what an amazing man! God Bless the both of them .thankyou for sharing this x

  • @philnicky1 nice time in hell... oh yes, you are full of love... NOT!

  • @NaturalistHumanist and your full of shit!!!! You must have been one of the sicko's that disliked this

  • @philnicky1 you prove the real nature of "god´s love"... it´s believers like you that made this word such an horrible place in the name of god.

    i do respect what this father is doing for his son. and i admire the son for what he achieved. but i despise what YOU are believing and your self-aggrandisement. so sleep well in your own hell but stop bother other people with your infantile and cruel faith.

  • @NaturalistHumanist Do you feel better after your little rant??? Go and preach to some one who gives a shit ! you must bore your friends + family to death !

  • @philnicky1 i feel very sorry for your impotency to discuss in a logical and friendly way. i wish you a happy life in your god delusion. farewell.
