    Cool Story

    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.

    Wow.

    I can't imaging having a day so bad that I could not feel good about that story.

    makes you happy for what you have....and more happy that there are people like that in the world. That man is a saint.

    I met this guy!

    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!
