I submit for you this week’s inspirational story. Each week I search high and low for support and reasons for you to stay on the path towards your greatest dreams. This weeks inspirational video is about Dick and Rick Hoyt who are a father-and-son team from Massachusetts who together compete in all types of marathon and triathlon races. Together they have also climbed mountains, and once trekked 3,735 miles across America.
Rick the son can’t walk or talk.
For the past twenty five years Dick, the father in this video has pushed and pulled his son across the country and over hundreds of finish lines. When Dick runs, Rick is in a wheelchair that Dick is pushing. When Dick cycles, Rick is in a wheelchair,attached to the front of the bike. When Dick swims, Rick is in a boat being pulled by Dick.
Now I dare you to tell me you can’t get up and make your dream come true.
In honor of Dick and the many fathers like him, we 8 women salute you this father’s day. Where would we women be without once having a dad?
Happy Father’s day.
Who inspires you this week?
Keep on dreaming –
