Devoted

Autor Dick Hoyt
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 27 mar 2012
The remarkable story of a father's devotion to his wheelchair-bound son and how their bond inspired millions of people worldwide--"Dick and Rick prove that the seemingly impossible is possible with every step they take on their awe inspiring journey." (Uta Pippig, three-time winner of both the Boston and Berlin Marathons) Born a Spastic quadriplegic, Rick Hoyt was written off by numerous doctors who advised his parents, Dick and Judy, to put their son in an institution. But Dick and Judy refused. Fast-forward to seventh grade when Rick, who was attending Westfield Middle School, asked his dad to enter a charity race. But there was a twist: Rick wanted to run, too. Dick had never run a race before, but more challenging still, he would have to push his son's wheelchair at the same time. Dick and Rick were determined, however, to overcome any obstacle in their way. Now, over one thousand races later, including numerous marathons and triathlons, Dick Hoyt continues to push Rick's wheelchair. Affectionately known worldwide as Team Hoyt, they are as devoted to each other as ever, and continue to inspire millions with their trademark motto--"Yes, you can."
