Team Hoyt

Team Hoyt is an inspiration to people everywhere. It's a story of a man who would do anything for his son. Rick Hoyt was born with Cerebral Palsy. The doctors told his parents to put him in an institution, but they refused. Dick and Judy, Rick's parents, took him home and treated him as they would any of their children (with some exceptions of course) so that he would feel normal. It's an inspiration how far these people would go for their children. Dick Hoyt would obviously do anything for his kids, no matter how difficult. He is a role model for fathers everywhere.

Inspiration in Motion (Triathlon Inspires ())

Rick Hoyt seems to have a really big heart, as does his father. Rick saw that there was a race for a paralyzed lacrosse player and he wanted to run it. So his father decided to push him in the race. This team is a very inspirational team. Rick Hoyt says that if he didn't have his disability, he would push his dad in a wheelchair like his dad did for him.

Fathers should strive to be Rick and Dick Hoyt. They're a great duo and they really work well together. I've been wondering where his mom and siblings are in the whole race situation. They must be super supportive because it seems like the duo would need a lot of support. The team has run multiple races over the last 37 years and must've needed a ton of support throughout all of it.

Rick Hoyt was born in 1962 with a chronological disease called Cerebral Palsy. The doctors told his parents to take him to an institution and leave him because he wouldn't get any better. The parents refused. They took him home. They must've raised him well because he obviously grew up with a big heart. I can only imagine how much strength those parents and siblings must've had to raise him without any help from professionals.

Inspiring team (Her Campus ())

This team really inspires me. They inspire me to do the impossible. They're an inspiration everywhere. Running is hard, but pushing a human being while you do it must be ten times harder. It really inspires me that Dick would push himself to the breaking point for his son. When I'm a parent I will strive to be as good as Dick Hoyt and his family. I will strive to make my family as supportive as the Hoyt family and even if something goes wrong I will strive to be as calm and collected as Rick's parents.
