“At 15, Rick Hoyt, who had cerebral palsy, asked his dad, Dick, “”Can we run that race?””
Though Dick wasn’t a runner, love doesn’t wait for perfect conditions. He pushed Rick’s wheelchair for five miles, and they finished last—but Rick smiled and said, “”Dad, when I’m running, I don’t feel handicapped.””
From that day on, Team Hoyt became unstoppable, completing over 1,000 races, including 32 Boston Marathons.
Love truly carries us farther than we could ever imagine. 🏃💙✨
