Many of you have probably seen this video plastered across the Internet. It is the heart warming story about a dedicated father and his son, who is disabled and uses a wheelchair. The father and son duo have participated in hundreds of triathlons together. They have even participated in the toughest, most grueling triathlon, the Ironman. All this despite the dad’s heart condition, and the sons inability to walk, not to mention bike or swim.
According to the Youtube video, the story started like this:
A son asked his father, “Dad, will you take part in a marathon with me?” The father, despite having a heart condition, said, “Yes”. They went on to complete the marathon together. Father and son continued to join other marathons, the father always saying, “Yes” to his son’s request to go through the race together. One day, the son asked his father, ‘Dad, let’s join the Ironman together; to which his father said, “Yes”, too.
What a touching story about love, family, and the drive to fulfill our dreams in life, despite our physical limitations.
Goose bumps! This shows the true strength of love! All things through him are possible!
