Inspirational.

This needs little to no explanation…but the young man in the video was born with cerebral palsy. He can only express himself through a computer designed to allow him to talk. He heard of a race that was being held to raise money for a different young boy that had been paralyzed and asked his dad if they could participate. After the race he told his dad that it was the first and only time that he did not remember his handicap. So, his dad started enrolling them into more and more races.

Two quotes from Ricky (the son):
“I want people to know that people who suffer from any type of handicap are still people first”

“If they could cure cerebral palsy, the first thing I would do is tell my dad to sit, this time I will push”

The video is from their completion of the Ironman. If you want more information you can search Team Hoyt.
