Love that story.
I learned about that story just before my son was born.

Holy smoke I didn't know that they passed. I wondered what was going to happen when the father passed if the son would live very long.

That is some amazing inspiration and dedication. There is a guy here in town that I see pushes son at almost every race every five, 10K half Marathon full marathons etc been at a few runs this last few months and I haven't seen them so I'm afraid that something must have happened to one or both of them. The sun was always so excited as they would run people would clap and you could just see him just big freaking smile on his face and he'd always have one hand in the air waving the best he could. That's what a good dad does for a son. Sad to hear of the passing
