Saturday Special: Team Hoyt

Dick and Rick Hoyt live right down the road from us. Brian and I grew up watching them in races - ever since Rick was a teenager. We're so thrilled that the whole world seems to know about them - they are truly inspirational. Rick has cerebral palsy, but Dick (and the rest of the Hoyt family) didn't see that as an obstacle to Rick making huge achievements. He's a marathoner, and an Iron Man. Dick (the dad) and Rick (the son) have done it all together. Dick is an example of Jesus' love - he carries Rick through the hard parts. And Rick trusts unconditionally, and displays courage, faith and enthusiasm. But if you think Dick is the only hero, think again. Recently Dick suffered a heart attack and it was RICK that saved him. But I think the following video says it all so much better. Get the tissues...
