yesterday evening, i was able to attend the presentation of Team Hoyt!
this has been one of the most uplifting stories i have ever heard!
Team Hoyt consists of two souls: Dick and Rick Hoyt.
Rick was born to Dick and Judy Hoyt and was diagnosed with a disability that would make it impossible for him to live a “normal” life.
“In the spring of 1977, Rick told his father that he wanted to participate in a 5-mile benefit run for a Lacrosse player who had been paralyzed in an accident. Far from being a long-distance runner, Dick agreed to push Rick in his wheelchair and they finished all 5 miles, coming in next to last. That night, Rick told his father, “Dad, when I’m running, it feels like I’m not handicapped.”
what a beautiful story. and what a beautiful father - fulfilling, in the flesh, the promise that our father in heaven gives us – to carry us through. to give us rest.
what a beautiful story.
be infinitely blessed
