Twenty years ago Rick Hoyt ran a 5k while pushing his disabled son in a wheelchair. After the race his son told him that while racing he did not feel disabled. They have since competed in over a hundred triathlons and marathons together.

VERY TOUCHING TO SEE THAT KIND OF LOVE
He spoke at a client conference that we held. I don't think there was a dry eye in the house after Rick finished his presentation. This guy is the reel deal!
