You can watch the video and come with your own thoughts. One word comes to mind, AMAZING.

As a parent of a child with special needs, this really touched my heart. Thank you for reminding us, at this special time of year, of just a small part of which we have to be thankful.

For those of you that don't know, a triathlon begins 2.4 mile swim (pulling his son while others do not have to pull anything), followed by 112 miles of bicycling (with his son on the front while everyone else uses a 2 lb. bike) and ends with a 26.2 mile run (pushing a stroller while everyone else runs for themselves). The goal of the team was not to win, but to allow the son to compete in the events. As you can see in the video, the father is no "spring chicken" either.

Every good thing because that means I am loved.... I am Thankful as well that a part of my lefe was devoted to helping people who helped me to learn waht it would be like to live with limitations... and to LIVE to the fullest and not let limits lessen life.....
