I read this article in SI some time ago. I found it again after coming across this video. Unbelievable.

Thats a great story. I've watched the guy finish the Ironman triathlon in Hawaii several times and it is truly one of the most inspirational things that I have ever seen.

They do a great job for spectators and participants alike. You can be truly moved to hear some of the stories of the athletes; it has literally saved the lives of numerous persons.
I've met Dick Hoyt and he is committed to his son.
