@247.endurance: “Dad, when I’m running… it feels like I’m not handicapped.” ❤️ That one sentence changed everything. Rick Hoyt was born with cerebral palsy and told he would never live a normal life. He couldn’t walk. He couldn’t speak. Many believed his story would end before it even began. But his parents refused to give up on him. Then one day, Rick asked his father Dick to push him in a five mile charity race. Dick had never been a runner before. But he said yes. That single race became the beginning of one of the most inspirational partnerships in sports history 🌍🏃 Together, Team Hoyt would go on to complete over 1,000 endurance events including marathons and IRONMAN triathlons, with Dick swimming while pulling Rick through the water, cycling with him attached to the front of the bike, and pushing him for the entire marathon ❤️ They showed the world that love has no limits. And that no finish line is impossible when you refuse to leave someone behind. #teamhoyt #ironman #triathlon #inspiration #endurancesports
