I would like to share the story of an extraordinary love that a father has for his son. It is the story of Dick Hoyt and his son Rick. 66-year old Dick climbs mountains, runs to the ends of the earths and swims across oceans to give his son Rick, a better life.<\/p>\n
When Rick was born, he suffered from cerebral palsy (as a result of the umblical cord being caught around his neck at birth) Doctors told Dick that his son would never be able to walk or talk and that it would be best to forget about him and leave him in an institution. He would be nothing more than a vegetable for life.<\/p>\n
Yet, Dick was determined to bring his son up like other child and wanted to ensure that he was not deprived of anything in life as a result of his condition.<\/p>\n
Today, at age 66, Dick and his son Rick (44) have competed together in 950 races, 60 marathons and 6 Iron Man Triathlons.<\/p>\n
But the most important part of his story is that Rick has successfully graduated from Boston University and this is an inspiration to millions around the world. Watch the video of his story………..<\/p>\n
