Rick & Dick Hoyt - World's First Rick Roll
from Wild World of Sport
Love is a powerful thing. It can lift us up, send us crashing down, and make us do things we never thought were possible. The best example of this is brought to us by Dick Hoyt and his son Rick, who had spastic quadriplegic cerebral palsy, which meant he had no control over his muscles from the neck down and was non-verbal.But that didn't stop Rick from doing what he loved best - running. Together with his father they competed in marathons, Ironmans, and various other races for over 30 years. The whole time powered by Dick and his love for his son, pushing through physical, mental, and logistical barriers.So strap in and take off as we tell the story of a father who wouldn't let him son down, who let him run around, and never deserted him, on out joutney to find thre wildest story from the world of sport.
