Stories from people inspired by Dick & Rick Hoyt!

I'm sure you get these emails every day, so one more can't hurt.

I wanted to let you know that you are quite the pair, and my hat is off to you both.

Dick, you know that you are the premier father of all time, for the dedication that you show to your son, and obviously you are one hell of an athlete. I never thought the word 'determination' needed to be redefined, but apparently you did. You make me begin to believe what is possible.

Rick, as much as I am impressed with your dad, I want you to know that you have had a much more tremendous impact on me today. As I reviewed your website and saw the laundry list of accomplishments, I found myself in awe of all of the physical things you two had done together. But I was also surprised by the academic goals you have attained. For the complete inspirational story

Dear Dick and Rick,

I just felt compelled to write you a note of thanks.

I remember crying more that night than I have ever done in my life! It made me realize that no matter what life throws at you, you can still do whatever you want. it just takes a little more effort and a truck load of determination. So that's what I did, I found a direction, and more importantly my spark I picked myself up and built a career, and more importantly a family. For the complete inspirational story
