There was a time when I opt-out of about every email I ever did get. Which is a slap in my face for what I do when soliciting business. Today I only opt out and spam the folks from Nigeria and such about all the money I won. Ya, it has cost me a fortune (right). This has resulted in many more emails. It reminds me going to garage sales. Plenty of stuff and very few gems. Today I found this gem. Now it is not going to sell you a house. I am not going to sell a mortgage. It is has nothing to do with mortgage rates, bad credit, FHA, VA, refinancing, mortgage brokers, etc.
There are inspirational stories that make you smile. And then there are those that leave you in awe. The story of the World’s Strongest Dad is of awe-inspiring variety.
Dick Hoyt is one half of Team Hoyt. The other half is his son, Rick. Rick has been disabled from birth. He can’t walk or talk. In 1972, a group of Tufts University engineers set out to help Rick. They built a computer he could use to write out his thoughts. (You’ll see him typing with it in the beginning of the video.)
His parents learned that Rick loved sports. Rick told his father he wanted to enter a five-mile benefit run. Dick pushed his wheelchair-bound son in the race. Soon they were competing in marathons, triathlons and even the Iron
man. To date, Team Hoyt has run, biked, and swum in 958 events.
I hope you get as much out of this as I did.
