  • All glory to the Greatest Creator !Tks dear for sharing.

  • Why can't you all enjoy the video and shut the fuck up stop bringing religion into this and dumb fucks stop bashing on religion

  • @crumblezzz this video gives glory to God

  • @WintersonAmbion the person who made this video yes which he/she shouldnt have and the father and son did not mention anything about the glory of god if they did then that would be fine...

  • @crumblezzz Except if you read their book "Devoted: The Story of a Father's Love for His Son", they DO talk about their faith in God.

  • @A550RGY shit okay okay you got me woooo! there happy i lost for trying to make peace here! congrats jerk jk

  • @crumblezzz Your original comment of asking both sides to shut up was actually pretty funny and helpful in a way. But then you you went too far on the next one my friend... :)

  • @A550RGY im not your friend pal

  • @crumblezzz I'm not your pal, buddy. And I thought your jk meant "Jerking, kay?", which would've explained a lot. jk

  • @A550RGY and i said jk meaning just kidding loosen up freak show jk

  • what the tittle of this song??

  • @medusa14013 My Redeemer Lives

  • The video made me cry. Very inspirational, the father truly is a hero!

  • the best video on YouTube

  • Our Father (GOD) has done the most similar thing for us and with us!! Thank you!!!

  • What the fuck is this shitty music? 

  • @PeculiarTactics I'm sorry but I don't hear nickleback.

  • @PeculiarTactics This is the perfect kind of music for this kind of message and video. If you prefer Nickelback then go listen to it somewhere else. Music like this is difficult to appreciate, but there's no reason to bash it.

  • The fittest for the poor. That's the way to go.

  • God has nothing to do with this.

  • Wow he is the greatest man I know.. He certainly is a bigger man than I will ever be.

  • I'd be more impressed if the son actually took part in the event.

  • LOL I was waiting for "god" to somehow get credit for this. 

  • why was god brought into this.....

  • the scripture at the end ruined it for me, god had absolutely nothing to do with that.

  • awesome video, terrible song.

  • The music ruins the video.

  • "Dad, will you take part in the ironman FOR ME??"

    What a scumbag.

  • And thus, reddit did bring the atheists to youtube, and there was much gnashing of teeth.

  • If "god" had a hand in them running these races, then god had a hand in wrapping the umbilical cord around the kids neck in the first place.

  • The only gods I see in this video is the father and his son. The christian god better take some notes, THIS is how it should be done!

  • a great man and a cool dude - you get my vote everyday !

  • I'm not crying, its just raining on my face

  • You can say his father is not... a Dick. Huehuehue...

    No really, that is a truly touching story, one of a kind you'll never forget.

  • what a fucking boss

  • Serious that's fucken mess up. That was one human being making that happen. Not that fucken lazy guy in the sky!

  • I dislike all the god bullshit in the comments. Give credit where it's due: that amazing fucking father. Leave santa claus out of it. Amazing father right there.

  • You, Sir, are the reason why we still can have nice things.

  • wtf dude not to brag but im one of those tough guys and i cried

  • holy shit got my cry on. Amazing man!

  • sorry op, god had ZERO to do with this. this is ALL heart by the hoyt family. just once, i wish people would atrribute greatness to themselves without insisting it was god who sweated & sacrificed.

  • I got chills all up and down my spine when i watched this til the end! What a great father!

  • Attaching christianity and god to this video really diminishes the accomplishment and the love that this man had for his son. god had nothing to do with it.

  • @rgavin89 touche

  • SHUT THE FUCK UP AND GIVE THIS MAN ALL THE LOVE.

  • Wow I never cry, i swear through all the saddest things Ive ever seen. But this made me shed a tear. thank god i saw this and may they be blessed. The strength and love that man has is truly magnificent. Just the joy they had when they finished the race truly warms my heart.

  • i remember seeing them at the kona ironman! from the energy labs onwards, they travel through a tunnel of sound, everyone loves them!

    i remember watching my dad finish then going to t2 to watch the hoyt machine start the marathon

  • fuckin onions

  • a truly touching feat and it shows the true power of love. but in all honesty i dont think god had anything to do with it, just years of hard work put in by the father with motivation from the son.

  • Sorry but 'imaginary friend' deserves no credit for this amazing feat.

  • @aegisgfx Your ignorance is astounding, get out

  • @TheMontageMasters

    People clearly agree with the pint I have made. Sorry for you, but the internet is here to destroy your ridiculous invisible bullshit.

  • i wonder if we think its sad because we look down on the disabled. i feel ashamed.

  • @kevinellis92 You thought it was sad? I thought it was awesome and inspiring! You shouldn't feel bad or feel sad for them, they are people like us and they don't want to be looked down upon.

  • @FirefulBlaze Amen!

  • for the people that disliked it should be ashamed of themselve

  • die people who disliked thid DIE

  • Why do people have to bring god into this? -___-

    To say god has a part in this is so insulting to the strength of the father.

    I guess we get to thank god that the son can't do any of this himself and will never be able to do so many things that most of us will have the ability to do. Thank god indeed.

  • @gggggreengiant Your looking at it all wrong.

  • @gggggreengiant the dad was a strong christian, the reason he did this was to show his son his and Gods love. he would've been very happy to see this shot in a christian format

  • @Thingkrr You're brainwashed.

  • @dcyli i was about to say the same thing

  • @gggggreengiant Only religion can attempt to take credit for this man's enormous strength and love for his son. And that thought to me is sickening, and anyone claiming god gave him the strenght to do it should feel ashamed of themselves !

  • @gggggreengiant It's just a beautiful song that goes with the video. people don't insult your musical choice... so don't insult theirs.

  • @dudearinos he's not talking about the song he's talking about the bible reference at the end

  • @gggggreengiant God can be brought in this. I don't know what you think a body can do, but it certainly can't do a marathon with a heart condition to this extent by itself. You say the sons condition is bad? Look at what the son and father did through this accomplishment. They touched and possibly changed countless lives. The son did more by being in his condition then he would have with a normal body. Stop trolling bro.

  • @TheMontageMasters No God can't be brought into this. Its the fathers amazing perseverance and his love to his son, that helped him finish these marathons. You should stop trolling. Your statement of "God can be brought into this" has nothing to do with what you have said.

  • @TheMontageMasters On the other hand, he'll never be able to wipe his ass without someone helping.

    Thanks god!

  • @TheMontageMasters You're a troll.

  • @TheMontageMasters Yes the body can do amazing things, but it does not need god to do them. This video should serve as a testament to human perseverance and the spirit of overcoming all obstacles life throws at you. If you want to thank god for this, go ahead, but every time you thank god for something you are discrediting the human race. For you to say that the son has done more in this state than he would have with a normal body makes me cringe. How can you know that?!

  • @TheMontageMasters Lololol. I'm telling you right now that God had nothing to do with this. It was the father incredible will power that drove him forward to do this with his son. And my father has a heart condition too and after some intense training he made his way too run a 50 mile race.

  • @gggggreengiant if this guy want's to give credit to God who are you to stop him?

  • @garren1138 If this guy wants to give credit to Zeus, Thor, and Great Juju up the mountain, who are you to stop him?

  • @joslinnick I love it when peeps are in agreement.

  • @gggggreengiant Obviously the song in the video has to do with God... So yea. Also, the way it relates to God is that it symbolizes the way He is the Father to us. The father helps his son to do the things he could never accomplish for himself. This video is great to show how all the fatherless and broken people in the world should view God. As the father who would do anything for his children. If anything, it is praising this guy for his feat of love and strength, not insulting.

  • @gggggreengiant I donno, maybe because the song happens to be about Jesus?

  • truly exemplary father figure

  • so beautiful. 

  • asta da lectie de viata!!!!

  • what a good father. all my respect to him

    

  • The Amazing Love of Jesus Christ truly if this brought tears to your eyes how much more what Christ did this is video is good and also meaningful but the gospel is truly great it will move you in a way that it will change u so i love this vid cause it showed me and reminded me of God's amazing love and i hope u who arent in Him and see this comment think about it ^_^

  • @FirefulBlaze You're an asshole.

  • :'I so beautiful

  • @IsTheSkyUp Yes, indeed! Thank you for dropping by.

  • THIS IS THE REAL DEFINITION OF LOVE !

  • @Dominusorg You can indeed appreciate what is true; what is right and what is beautiful.

  • crap cheesy song

  • I wonder if the other contestants had to carry freak too.

  • all my respect ! :) absolutely amazing !

  • incredible!!! i couldnt stop my tears!!!

  • @lorieda So with the others like me. Tears well in my eyes each time I view the film clip.

  • Comment removed

  • They should replay this over and over again in jail cells.

  • @ScootMGP7 Excellent thought!

  • What a touching story, and a tough ass old man.

  • @mrlebowski562 Such is what is called "most stubborn yet most beautiful kind of love" ... and who would not want to be the object of such love?

  • Chuck Norris can go pack his bags.. there's a new king of all bad-asses in town

  • I usually don't cry about anything, nor am I really emotional, but dang....This made me want to cry. Good to see that there is still good in the world. I saw this on WSHH.

  • @DreadfulControversy That means that you have a healthy appreciation of what is true, right, pure, gentle and beautiful.

  • Truely amazing! These people are here to teach us about Love. Thank you!

  • @nureinherz Indeed!

  • Love is so strong, when people are in a situation where they believe they won't come out of it, so often they want their family to know they love them. Love is the strongest power of all. It is wonderful to see the strength of love in this video, that despite health issues he went and did one of the most gruelling events that there is, and did it while carrying (for want of a better word) another person. This video brings hope for love in a world filled with hate! Smile or cry???

  • @ragdoll2309 Biblically, you are right (1 Corinthians 13:13 "But now abide faith, hope and love, these three: but the greatest of this is love". (and you will find the biblical definition of true love in 1 Corinthians 13:4-8. Those who want to rate their suitors or the object of their love .. all they need do is substitute the word "love" in the passage 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 with the name of the object of their love).

  • Incredible!

  • @cmjump Yes, incredible indeed!

  • a true love

  • @h4h4n an endearing and enduring kind of love. A beautiful one.

  • yet the fathers who abandon their wife and children to help millions of strangers aren't praised as much..

  • wonderful...

  • @jelena3006 as I often refer to this video and true to life story of the principal characters of this film clip Dick and Rick - we are watching an endearing and enduring kind of love.

  • amazing.. i really hope that i can do something together with my dad..

  • @yanachew May God grant you the desire of your heart!

  • I wonder who dislikes this video.....

  • @TheRoshiable There are some who mock the video. They are to be pitied for they can't appreciate what is true, right, pure and beautiful.

  • @ferdinand1177 you are absolutely right...but iti is sad there are such kind of people...(

  • @ferdinand1177 fuckin bible thumpers

  • @TheRoshiable i do. the music is shit.

  • brings a tear to my eye!! a truly amazing man god bless him

  • @timmyd37 AMEN

  • MY FATHER WAS KILLED IN COMBAT, NOW I AM 20 YEARS OLD AND SERVE IN THE RUSSIAN AIRFORCE, I MISS HIM SO MUCH. TRULY THIS VIDEO BRINGS BACK THE DAYS WHEN HE TAUGHT ME HOW TO WALK TALK AND FLY. I DEDICATE THIS VIDEO TO ALL THE FATHERS OUT THERE AND TO ALL WHO HAVE LOST THEIRS. I SALUTE ALL THE FATHERS AS WE SAY IN RUSSIAN "SALYUTOTTSOV".

  • @KrasivyiiStalin Amen!

  • those 17 guys are never been loved..

  • Big MAN and Father!!

  • I AM DUMB BEFORE THIS LOVE.............

  • Finaly someone I understand completey, the world needs more thoroughly Decent people like Dick and Rick. Just wish Rick would ask his Dad to Run for the Presidency.

    Maybe the world would become ruled by Love instead of the greed of a small minority.

    from one Father to another I salute you.

  • Amazing! Lots of love to you both!!

  • the moment i started watching it tears fell down til the end of the clip. it is definitely true that Love can do all things.. specially a Fathers Love... Happy Fathers day...

  • This must be the most heart-warming film on this site... People like this dad is our world's real heroes!

  • i know the feeling, God knows i love my son

  • what song is this ?

  • Praise God..I'm over here crying..

  • this is amazing

  • Well said to shaaan1329 <3!

  • to the seventeen people who disliked this-

    you heartless people, how can you not take this as an inspirational and heart-warming video. it shows just how much fathers are willing to do, no matter what family background or health conditions. even if you dont have a father, (for which im sorry) but that doesnt give you the right to dislike this amzing video. i am in tears <3

  • HERO!

  • this is so sad

    your dad should rest in peace and he should not run at a old age lyk dat u should be thankful for wat he did now u must care for him im so sad i want to cry ur dad put everythig into ur heart u should be thankful and should cry ad should love ur father as much as u can

  • this is so sad

  • @MsHoneygurl808 That maybe as you and others even perhaps yours truly see it but as a background, we are able to see clearly the beauty of unselfish love, devotion and commitment. Not that we say that both father and son in the true to life video as sacrificial lamb for us to see the beauty of unselfish love and the like but in this dying world of men on account of the sin of our ancestors Adam and Eve, these bad things do happen (to be continued in next post)

  • @MsHoneygurl808 (the continuation of my earlier post to you) and it is for us to handle them as best as we can and both father (Dick) and son (Rick) have done just that and the beauty of what they have done is that, that which they have done, happened naturally for them and more so thus they are both natural encouragement to fathers and sons even daughters who are either physically and/or mentally challenged.

  • My 73YO father got himself arrested last year for spitting at Kate Middleton.

    He has always emphasised the importance of good behaviour to me, & has never done anything like this before, but had become outraged at the ‘Royal freeloaders’. He practiced his aim for hours, & got her right on the cheek during a ‘walkabout’ session.

    He got off lightly with a fine, & it wasn’t on any news bulletins as the media have agreed to hush-up negative stories in the run-up to the wedding.

  • @SuperTruth77 Thank you for dropping by even for your time and effort to leave a note.

  • when i read the description the story nearly brought tears to my eyes. But when i saw the video i couldnt hold it.. really an amazing story.

    and i don´t get the 17 guys that dislike that video?

  • @blablubb1693 For you have a heart of flesh and not a heart of stone. In Ezekiel 36:25-27, this is the kind of transformation that God by way of His Holy Spirit wants to make in the sinful man; to chance the Adamic heart of stone into one that can respond to God even the things that are pure, true, right, beautiful - to a TRULY heart of flesh.

  • @blablubb1693 You are not alone in such a beautiful response.

  • This should be shared with everyone in the world!

  • @jocose1938 True. This video can only inspire father's all over the world even those with disabilities that both father and son are truly winning the race that truly matters - the race of living in this temporary place that we are holed in called earth. For there are those who are in a better physical shape yet they are worn-out and discouraged losing the race that truly matters.

  • This reminds me so much of how my Mom treated my Grandfather! I love the inspiration behind this! It's Amazing!

  • my dad will never be like that one.

  • @legoboyguy Perhaps but you you have the choice to be the best dad that you can be, just like the father of Rick in the true to life video. Then, you can be an encouragement to all other fathers that you come in contact with and be the hero to your children as Dick is the hero of Rick, the son.

  • @legoboyguy Mybe one day you can be father like this one, for your I hope healthy children...( don't get me wrong, child is a child, but for the child is better if he /she is healthy)

  • @jelena3006 your comment is a selfish one and what seems to a unloving and cold attitude towards those who are disabled .... this young man is very healthy and guess what, he does not have a disease!

  • @TheNessyT Both father and son are in fact winning the race of life in this dying world of men! And many of us who are better in physical terms are losing such race. thus, both father and son are better off than most of us and they are such a great inspiration to those who are truly struggling with issues of day to day life.

  • My dad will never be like that man iven if i coudnt move and i asked him he would tel me never never . He is a dad that doesnt love me so much. thats the best dad ever never compare to my dad

  • Nieprawdopodobnie piękna historia...

  • ;( I'll be the best dad ever!

  • it`s was a LOVE

  • Wow, such an amazing story. Brought tears to my eyes :) God Bless You :)

  • There is love, and then there is true love that knows no bounds, what an amazing dad.

  • @maybeamy I can't agree with you more. Thanks for dropping by. GBWU

  • I was enjoying it until the Bible quote.

  • this film teaches us not to be afraid of doing the right thing for the people we love...

  • @wenrick97 And yes, show how much we love them while they are still alive. To love anyone is always right for even the bible say that there is law against it. GBWU
