Team Hoyt --What Love Can Do...

There are at least two other videos of Dick and Rick Hoyt at the website, and each is powerful.

Each shows that DISABILITY is not a meaningless life, and what a loving family can do for the disabled, as well as what that disabled person can give back to the family, regardless of how severe that disability is.

I want to share the following video(s) with you (click on the photo with each of the three):

Video Description

I learned years ago, when I worked at a very special camp, that there are so many people with beautiful minds, in bodies that just don't work... and they have found ways past their disability, to achieve what was once believed impossible. Anything is possible.
Dick and Rick Hoyt are a father-and-son team from Massachusetts who together compete just about continuously in marathon races. And if they are not in a marathon, they are in a triathlon, that daunting, almost superhuman combination of 26.2 miles of running, 112 miles of cycling and 2.4 miles of swimming. Together they have climbed mountains, and once trekked 3,735 miles across America. Find out more about them at http://www.teamhoyt.com/index.html

Together, Dick & Rick Hoyt have run in marathons, competed in triathlons and once even trekked 3,700 miles across America. What they have accomplished together is simply amazing when you consider that Rick cannot walk or talk.


And just so that you don't MISS it, this is the first one that I was sent earlier today:
