the father who went an extra mile
Published Oct. 15, 2008
This is a story of selflessness and determination. More than anything, it’s a story of fatherly love.
One day, a son asked his father to take part in a marathon with him. The son had severe disabilities, but held on tight to his dream. The father, despite having a heart condition, decided to grant his son’s wish and they participated together in several marathons.
One day, the son asked his father if they could join the Iron Man. For those who don’t know, the Iron Man is the toughest triathlon ever. The race encompasses three endurance events of a 2.4 mile ocean swim, followed by a 112 mile bike ride, and ending with a 26.2 mile marathon along the coast of the Big Island.
Father and son went on to complete the race together. The video is extremely touching.

True love can enable us to surpass the toughest of obstacles, and will give us the strength to rise above our self-imposed limitations.
All that’s needed is a little bit of courage, a good dose of faith and the firm belief that we can do it.
Have a wonderful day, everybody. May we all find the courage to rise above our preconceived ideas, and know that through love we can change our world and others'.
