An inspiration...

I was watching Oprah today (I had a lazy day at home - what else do you do?) and was introduced to Dick & Rick Hoyt - otherwise known as "Team Hoyt". Once I wiped my tears away, I tracked down their website - http://www.teamhoyt.com/

If you aren't moved and inspired by these two people, then nothing will.

I have to soooo stop complaining about my small little niggles! Some people are so amazing in what they overcome!

Thanks for the link Jen.

I must admit to watching the odd episode of Oprah. The last one I saw featured Kyle Maynard -

There are some inspiring people out there.

I bought an Ironman book while training for the real thing and it had their story in it - very very inspirational. In fact the entire book is inspirational - contains stories of individual athletes from all over the world. Must dig it out again.....

Amazing things some parent's can do to raise their beloved children.
