I cry every single time I watch this video. What amazing love. You can easily see how happy and greatful his son is. There aren't really words for it. This could be put in any dictionary as a example of what true love is. I don't know how anyone would put dislike on this video.
I watch this video every single time that I need to remember how blessed we all are... Having a strong soul is only for those who CAN imagine a world with love and I only felt a pur love when my son was born... Dick & Rick Hoyt are my insipiration!
When I get into my 'why did this happen to my son' mode, I watch this video and it gives me the strength to go on. I just wish my son's father had 10% of the love for his son that Dick Hoyt has for his.Dick HOyt is an inspiration to all parents of children with cerebral palsy..YOU ROCK!!!!!
...My God.. after see that video.. I Can Breath for 30 minuts.. Really.!!. God Blessed that Man.. the is a Real Father... Tanks MIKE.. u are the Best Coach... UGS
Absolutly lost for words, simply the most powerful video/story i have ever heard/seen. I watch this on a dvd with 5 other people, for at least a min afterwards we were speechless. Pure dedication and love. U both are an inspirtaion to human beings everywhere!! Its people like you that push the human race foward and help us believe anything is possible. Full respect
One of the most uplifting videos I've ever seen. Wow. When I see people like this, people with such passion, it really makes me think about how little most of us are doing with our lives, how often we just float through our days. How many times have I woken up and grumbled over the stuff I have to do that day? Poor me. And then I see people who will do anything - do whatever it takes - to go out there and live. Really LIVE. And I'm ashamed at how much time I've wasted, floating.
Absolutely- the most touching picture I've ever seen. Sometimes I complain that I can't do sth; now i know that I can. Thank you Dick and thank you Daniel!
How can any truly good human being not shed tears of compassion, joy, and inspiration upon seeing this video? It reminds us that we can ALWAYS do better and that no matter what our cross to bear, someone out there has one that is bigger! Thank you for being you and for sharing your life with us!!!!! Kim, in columbia, missouri
Man, really makes you think.... I've never cried like this before it's the most inspiring video I have ever had the pleasure of seeing. Gorgeousness and gorgeousity made flesh.
It gives so much power to me every time...Love you guys, keep on doin' races ... The best thing in life is love, and only a few people knows what love really is, Rick and Dick knows! Thank you for this 5 minutes. I will never forget you guys!
Everyone focuses on the father and how strong he is, yet i see myself as the helpless son that i am who needs the tireless help of my Abba my Father. Presented to an audience of Couples For Christ Foundation for Family and Life leaders last sat 31 Jan at CAP center Camp John Hay Baguio City. Philippines. You would need to be like stone to hold back the tears of fathers and mothers alike. How silly of us to think that we can make it on our own without His help. Thanks a lot! God bless us all!
This video keeps me going day in day in my life when I am unable to watch this video with something and move on, give me strength to continue to reach any goal, when I was small but very bad times and pass through I taught this video I tackle the problem and move forward, now I look at life differently, the moment to moment he saw and if you ever doubt this video with something to help me, so I want to thank you for uploading the video, thanks from my heart.
I just stumbled about this video and even if it is 15 years ago, it is one of the most emotional things I have ever seen. I cried away a whole pack of "Tempo" while watching this ;-) It is the pure and absolutely true prove that triathlon is so much more than just sports. It can really change your life, and the lives of your friends and family. If you don't believe it, do it.
IRONMAN is hard enough as it is...doing the swim towing a dinghy with someone in it, a bike where you can never be aero and a run that you can hardly use your arms in is absolutely awe inspiring...still think IRONMAN is to hard for you !!
just amazing this man is such an inspiration, i can learn so much from you, we can do what ever we want there are no obsticles. thank you so much for sharing you had my lecture room in tears.
I'v seen this video thousands times but I never found something to comment, something to say. There is so much in these few images that can't be explained with simply words. You can only breath it, feel inside yourself. When I see this such of things I'm proud to be human. All my respect and regard for this father and for his son too. Enjoy your life guys, we have only one to spend..
I don't get why people are writing stupid & negative things about this video and the people in it Don't judge them, don't give your opinion on why you think it's stupid. We don't want to hear it, it just reminds the rest of us that there are still incompetent and self absorbed people in this world who don't think anything other then about themselves. You will never know true happiness until you have THIS kind of positive effect on someone else's life. Just admire the human spirit. Perfect video
this video is brought to us to show and remind us to stay strong no matter wat happens. thanks for the video, it really shows me that love is still in this world even at times of pain and loss. thanks, kick ass video. god bless u all.
I have an ill child... I would do everything for him... because of that that let me see a smile on his face... all of my acknowledgements this father's... gave much strength to me... strength to the life, strength to the continuation... Thank you very much!
This is simply an amazing story. It never ceases to amaze me, regardless of how many times I see footage on the Hoyt story. Truly inspirational. If you think that you can't, what this and maybe you will change that to a CAN !!!
Détermination sans faille ...pour gérer une telle souffrance ... On ne peut que respecter ce papa hors norme! Une épreuve si difficile , un cadeau pour son fils .. Voilà un véritable IRON MAN !
This movie gave me a wonderful feeling, became warm and happy that there are such wonderful people with the strength and the patience needed to implement what do .. to help someone with the need to do everything and be able to give so much of himself is so wonderful to see. Pays tribute to them that give so much to them who need it so much
No tengo palabras para expresar la emoción que me habeis transmitido. Mucha Fuerza y mucho Amor. Es bonito saber que el mundo seguirá girando gracias a las personas que son así.
I raced in the Timberman sprint triathlon a week ago and they were at the race. I met with them prior to the race and was passed by them on the run portion. I am physically challenged and took a lot of inspiration from the both of them in my preparation to race. I am hoping to someday complete an Olympic distance triathlon some day and possibly a half-Ironman Aquabike.
Thank you so much for sharing this video. I'm a very desperate person who always plan of taking my own life. but this one gives me inspiration to carry on... thanks so much....
I'm a man I'm 42 I'm training for the Ironman I'm crying of happiness and motivation tears for the immense love, strenght and courage of mr Hoyt thank you
Isso serve de lição, para quem sempre reclama da vida, reclama de tudo e tem tudo. Ele não podia fazer nada, mas teve alguém que sempre o apoiou e ajudou que foi seu pai... tem uma reportagem no youtube, sobre ele que ele diz: A primeira coisa que eu gostaria de fazer se eu pudesse andar, não seria jogar futebol, nem basquete, nem hockey, e sim colocar meu pai numa cadeira e empurra-lo... Muito lindo !
This is the most insperational video I have ever seen. This brings tears to a father.

Gosc jest niesamowity, piękny filmik, aż sie łza kręci w oku.
