To be able to train day in and day out, whenever we want is something we just should not take for granted. Rick Hoyt has never been able to do that on his own until he asked his father in 1972, through the help of a specially designed interactive computer, to take him on a 5 mile benefit run. You see, Rick cannot talk or walk, let alone run, but to date, Rick and his father, Dick have done 958 running, cycling and swimming events together as Team Hoyt. Read the amazing history of Team Hoyt.

Hat tip to my friend, Skip Hathaway and to Kim Komando.
