A Son asked his father, "Dad, will you take part in a marathon with me?" The father who, despite having a heart condition, says "Yes". They went on to complete the marathon together. Father and son went on to join other marathons. The father always saying "Yes" to his son's request of going through the race together. One day, the son asked his fater, "Dad, let's join the Ironman together."

To which, his father said "Yes".

  • What a father, he has inspired me with a video of him in my church to be the best man I can be and live my life, makes things like walking seem amazing. God has defiantly blessed those two, I hope they both live long happy lives together. Makes me damn proud to live in America with people like this.

  • If I'm ever a quarter of the man that Dick Hoyt is, I can die saying that I was truly a man among men.

  • Simply wonderful!

  • I have watched videos of these two before Dad is a Saint for bringing his disabled son up as a "normal" kid . Getting him involved with his other children and treating him just the same he is truly a father.

  • This is what having a pair of balls is all about! Greatest man alive... for sure.

  • there is one negative vote... that person has no heart at all.. i believe it!

  • True love!!
