  • Derek Redmond's struggle in the 1992 Olympic semi-final became the subject of one of the International Olympic Committee's 'Celebrate Humanity' videos highlighting his 1992 injury, also noting that "he, and his father, finished dead last, but he, and his father, finished".
    God is like that. When we are hurt and struggling, heavenly Father God comes and helps us finish the race.
    May God bless you.

    My dad donated his kidney to me in 2009. My then wife left me while I was sick and took my children across the country. I fought for my children for years, and they are grown now. As my father did for me I pray that I can continue to live my life in a way that my children see the loving sacrifice of their father, a mere shadow of their Heavenly Father…

    Amen. My father left us when I was about 8 and never so much as looked back. Years later I called him just to make up for lost time and he played it off as if he didn't even know me. But I was able to establish a relationship with my Father in heaven that I never got to have with my father on earth and God has made all the difference. I love you, my Father, I love you, my Lord, I love you my Holy Spirit. Forever You will be my Father, forever I will be your child.

    I was watching a sermon by Billy Graham, and I took this brave athlete and his father as an example of thoughtfulness and strength of decision; to finish the journey, no matter how painful it was and the truth is I couldn't stand the tears, I had never seen it.
    What a unique father, seeing this scene moved me; I am going through a very difficult emotional trance, and this really made me reconsider and think about how wonderful Jesus Christ is, that is why whoever reads this I urge you to follow him because in him you will find the answer to his problem; Thank you Lord because you use pain to give joy of life to those of us who seek from you, but we always close ourselves in our vain way of thinking. I ask that whoever reads this, if they are going through a serious problem, remember that as this young athlete God supports him, look for him. As long as you have life, he is close to you, amen. God bless you!!!!!

    This is so inspirational on many levels. "To dream the impossible dream...etc... to run where the brave dare not go." "And the world will be better for this, That 1 man ..scorned and covered with scars, Still strove with his last ounce of courage, to reach the unreachable stars. The anonymous beggar who gives more in the collection box than they're able. The parable of the drummer boy. Derek Redmond did not have to do what he did but he chose to do so and that has made all the difference.

    that is a model to what every father should be, by his child no matter what, that man is an awesome father and human being. That is family support and seeing your children through their trials and tribulations. Mr Redmond godbless you, you are an example for men to follow as a father.; You did what very few do you stood by your son and saw that it wasnt about winning it was about finishing what you start. the morals and ethics you must have instilled in your son are remarkeable, amen 2 you
