So Team Hoyt is a very inspirational story of a father, Dick Hoyt, and his son, Rick Hoyt, who compete together in marathons and triathlons across the country. What makes them extraordinary is that Rick has a disease. He is physically disabled. (I know this is pretty late, but I just learned this recently. Thanks to Facebook.)
Well, at first, I thought it was his father in the wheelchair. But I eventually found out that it was Rick, and it was his father running.

I don’t really know how to put it in words, so I will show the video instead….
So what do you think? Isn’t it extraordinary?
Well, I really do think it is beyond inspirational. The video moved me so much that I cried watching the whole thing

That is a very touching thing to do for your son. I can’t imagine what they have to go through every day just to begin with. What better way to show him he’s not as unable as people might think he is than to do it with him. Very sweet.

Beyond inspiring! If my memory serves me right, I’ve already heard about their story years ago. This shows us how blessed we are to have no disabilities. Merry Christmas!

This is so inspirational. Konti lang ang taong nakakagawa ng ganyan, specifically those people who have faith in Him. Hands down ako sa magtatay na yan. They’re one of the best!

Wow, I’d never heard of that. Truly an inspirational story and something to think about. Thank you for this <3

It’s the first time I have seen this one, and indeed, it is an eye-opener to everyone. Physical disabilities should not hinder us towards success. If we really want to succeed in life, then continue pursuing your dream despite barrels that come your way.
Happy Holidays!

The first time I learned about Team Hoyt was during a retreat and it was seriously a tearjerker. Sobrang heartwarming seeing the video and yung determination talaga. Sobrang inspiring
It makes me feel how lucky I am din as a person coz I don’t have problems like that physically. Thank you for sharing this with us

Our INTACT (sort of homeroom in college) facilitator introduced this video to our block and I had tears at the end I think. Such an inspirational story! Good that you’re sharing it dear!
Oh have a Christmas message by the way in my latest post! Do see!
