They often speak around the country, and every weekend will be at the very tame game, including this year's Father's Day.

night, Rick will ask his father for dinner, but he wanted to give his father a gift that he will never buy. Rick Road,

changes

life really changed for the better. Rick believes his courage and dedication of the mutually exclusive between people of the world is helpful. Even my business has clearly been inspired by him, Rick wrote in his diary the day the following words: For example, once we decided to take a triathlon, so my father took 5 hours a day exercise, 5 times a week, even when his work time is no exception. I'm so proud of him.

we changed the lives of many, many people and our goal as an example, many people began to follow us, they run with us, they told us the small road from the house has run a marathon game. This is really interesting, some of them began to change,cheap UGG boots, some people changed for the better body, some people are starting to gain weight, they said thanks to us, because the presence of so many things that we have a special significance. For our followers, Dick is written like this: Dad! ', and once we exceed them, (usually run time) they will say:' Hey, move to the TeamHoyt! 'or' If not for you, we are not here! ... '

You may want to ask me:

I do not own entries, participate in the competition purely to when we are together running, swimming and cycling when I saw Rick's sweet smile face when exposed. He smiled so sweet, as if the taste of melon.

course, this does not mean that all things change for the better, and I still have annoying when, not everyone likes Rick, and Rick together people still feel uncomfortable because he could not ease the control his tongue, especially when dining in the restaurant, he would have committed the error that only the elderly, food will be kept from falling out of his mouth, which makes guests feel resentment around, and then would get up and leave or requirements for the table. Once this kind of thing happened many times. But I feel fortunate that this intolerance of prejudice are disappearing.

Rick's efforts on its own on from high school to college, he received the university degree in special education, and graduated in 1993. A few weeks later, he took part in another Boston Marathon. It was a very special marathon: race day, the students were rushed to Boston from Hopkinton blessing for us, they stood there, holding a huge banner that read: It was the proudest of my life one day.

story of the people know we always say, I paid too much for her son. A competition in 2003, my minor

heart attack, doctors have found one of my main artery embolization ninety-five percent are, and he told me: died out! Rick just left as the doctors predicted a vegetative state is gifted with, so many years, the doctors had already died, but I really want them to see Rick now look.

I'm proud of my son, he was so love life, his efforts to arm and go out into the air, he loved every inch of outdoor light and air, and I kept pushing him ran down, we want to tell you how much we enjoy it, really, never stop, never stop hope. As Rick used to say: do not mind my daily life still need help, but I'd rather optimistic, looking at those in my life things have been completed, it is the highest award of my life.
