If you haven't heard the name Dick Hoyt, it's about time you do. Dick Hoyt is a father and a hero. No, I don't know a lot about his personal life, but here's what I do know.
Dick's son Rick has was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy and is in a wheelchair. Now you hear a lot of stories about parents trying to make life normal for their children with special needs, but never to this extent; this father is truly an inspiration. Dick and Rick have competed in "over 1,000 races completed, including marathons, duathlons and triathlons (6 of them being Ironman competitions). Also adding to their list of achievements, Dick and Rick biked and ran across the U.S. in 1992, completing a full 3,735 miles in 45 days."
