Dick Hoyt and his son Rick compete in marathons, triathlons, and ironman events. While that in itself is an excellent thing to be able to do, bear in mind that Rick is disabled and his father pushes him the distance in his wheelchair, or on his bike, or pulls him in a dinghy.
“Eighty-five times he’s pushed his disabled son, Rick, 26.2 miles in Marathons. Eight times he’s not only pushed him 26.2 miles in a Wheelchair but also towed him 2.4 miles in a dinghy while swimming and Pedaled him 112 miles in a seat on the handlebars–all in the same day.”
