Dick Hoyt- Father of the century

Posted on March 11th, 2007 in Interesting, Videos by yeehan

How much would you do and sacrifice for your child? I’m quite touched and also inspired by what Dick Hoyt does for his son. When he was told by doctors to put his son Rick in an institution, he refused. Instead Dick an Rick have spent their lifetimes together travelling the world and inspiring everyone the meet. Father of the century? No doubt about it.

Disabled and unable to speak at birth, Rick only managed to voice up his heart some years later using some digital machine. From that day onwards, his father do anything he can for Rick. 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.

The first video is about one of the iron man triathlon. Second video is about the interview.
