Today is Father's Day. Most people will be sending a card to their Dads with 'You're the best Dad in the world!' or 'Dad, you're my hero'. I'm never that organise but at least he did get a pressie this year. Yes, my Dad is a hero to me but I just had to share this video of a real hero.
Dick Hoyt is so devoted to his son, Rick, that he has run marathons, triathlons and has taken part in ironman competitions along with his son. Next year Dick will be 70 and they still continue to run together.
Watch the video here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z22s5DzqQdQ&feature=related. Be warned you may need tissues!
