It should read as "The Real SupermEn" actually. That's a picture of Team Hoyt. Dick and Rick Hoyt are a father-and-son team from Massachusetts who together compete just about continuously in marathon races. And if they’re not in a marathon they are in a triathlon — that daunting, almost superhuman, combination of 26.2 miles of running, 112 miles of bicycling, and 2.4 miles of swimming. Together they have climbed mountains, and once trekked 3,735 miles across America.At Rick’s birth in 1962 the umbilical cord coiled around his neck and cut off oxygen to his brain. Dick and his wife, Judy, were told that there would be no hope for their child’s development.
Well, dad never knew the meaning of surrender or giving up. Some kinda son and some kinda dad!! I watched a tribute video for them and was so moved by that. It's included here too, I hope you like it.
Peace, One World.
