2. One day a son asks his father:
“Daddy, will you run the MARATHON
with me?” The father answers yes and both
run their first marathon together.
Then one day the son asks his father,
again:
“Daddy, will you run the IRONMAN with
me?” (the Ironman is the toughest...it
requires a 4km swim, 180km biking
and 42km running).
The father says yes again.

4. And here's a very touching line:
“Dad,” Rick typed,
“when we were running, it felt
like I wasn't disabled
anymore!”
