Sport: the power to inspire

A friend of mine posted this video about Dick and Rick Hoyt. Due to lack of oxygen at birth, Rick is almost completely physically disabled—but he's still "in there" with a great sense of humor and a passion for sports. He and his father Dick compete in marathons and triathlons, with Dick pulling, pushing, and carrying Rick throughout the competition. I watched this video of them and literally sobbed. There's a triumph of the human spirit here. I wanted to share it with all of you. It's not about skating, but it says something about skating—and the transcendence and power of sport.
