The type of legacy worth leaving ❤

I watched this as a young man and didn’t understand the gravity of the bond between father and son. Now, 15 yrs on, married, with a son, I finally understand. Thank you.

My thoughts exactly.

if I am half of the father to my kids as this guy, I have succeeded .

Wow. Best part of that story for me was at 4:40. Dad never looks up to see the crowds reaction once. He watches his son the whole time. He's the real deal.

Rest in peace, Dick. It was an honor to meet you both in Kona. We will take it from here. I know you are not really gone, you're just a lap ahead.

RIP Dick Hoyt. You are a legend.

I never bothered to comment on a youtube video, but no words can describe how beautiful, inspirational and loving this is. Dick, your not a role model for just your son, your a role model for humanity.

This video is the reason why I started triathlon one and a half years ago. In a few weeks I am doing my first 70.3 and their story still brings tears to my eyes. Whenever I dont feel motivated or am tired, I watch this, go out running and be just thankful for the beauty that some people put into this world. Thank you Dick and Rick Hoyt for doing what you do.

I could have written the same thing....

I am a Hoyt and very proud to share the name with such wonderful human beings as you all. Thank you Dick and Rick. You are amazing!

SUCH AN AMAZING FATHER!!!! GOD BLESS HIM!!!!

I am truly hurt by your passing. You were one hell of a man, and you will not be forgotten!

RIP duo of the century. Rick is probably pushing his dad up there in heaven😢

RIP Dick, you have inspired millions to be become better people. Thank you for being an example for others to follow.

who in their right mind dislikes this? 127 very sad people....this is an inspiration to a guy like me in a wheelchair disabled by multiple sclerosis. i am grateful for people like his dad who can see the person inside of a broken body and take the time to enhance their lives. more power to them both....RESPECT.

That was what I was thinking... There will always be those who hate because others love and in this instance, it's obvious there are those that lack empathy and compassion. It's not their fault, its how their made... But I guarantee, it matters not to the Hoyts or those of us who find inspiration in this amazing story.

I haven't seen a single dislike on this. Not sure where you got 127 people from. If so some people need to get their head out of their asses or check to see if their heart has a pulse

I can't watch this without tearing up. Whenever I feel like giving up I watch this. So inspirational. God bless you

Today this earth lost one of the most inspiring souls ever. May he rest in peace.

And most of us complain about how hard things in life are. WOW a light came on for me, I know I am blessed. Do you know you are blessed too ?

Rest In Peace, you are the hero we all needed.

Look at Rick's smile. That says it all. He's so happy when he's out there competing with his Dad. A truly beautiful story. God Bless them.

Still inspiring folks in 2021. Amazing. “The Devoted” book Dick wrote wrote is great too!

it makes my heart ache that his dad would pull him through the whole race just to see him smile. Together they form the athelete. spirit and body. i am crying all over my computer as i type this. god bless them.

without question this is the most touching story I have seen, I am in floods of tears, not because I feel sorry for them but because i cry tears of love, joy and affection. You are truly blessed to have each other x

Such an inspiration. Rest In Peace, Dick

Fathers are important to us daughters too. We need that man to depend on in a world full of men we can't depend on We love our daddies!! I lost mine two and a half years ago, and miss that man every day.

This man and his son, are two of the most amazing and absolutely inspirational human beings on this earth. I've never seen anything so moving in my life. They deserve moe recognition than any football player, or basketball player. They're incredible people. That is dedication to family, to life. You are both truly amazing. If we had more people like you in the world, it'd be such a more amazing place. I love you guys, keep going

A special place in heaven awaits this dad

RIP Dick. This is what sports is all about. pushing each other toward our personal victories ❤️

The best part about this is that the kid is awake and aware of what is going on, so he's enjoying all this shit too. I love that.

Rest in peace Rick. In heaven today there is a party as Team Hoyt reunites. Thanks for changing the meaning of "anything is possible"

RIP Dick Hoyt. An inspiration to us all.

Rest in Peace Rick and Dick Hoyt ❤

Rest in peace you beautiful person. Your story have moved me many times... You`re an inspiration to all humans.

so sorry to hear about Dick's passing, such a dedicated father and tremendous athlete.

I made the whole school watch this in assembly one morning. One of the most inspirational videos on youtube. Incredible.

Absolutely incredible, humanity has owes so much to these men to do better and push ourselves to better things. I have just started on my road and I thought I had belief in myself but this shows just what we can do when we use the heart we’re given. Moved doesn’t come close to the close to the emotions this evokes. Just wow if I can do 1% I can will be proud. Truly amazing and inspiring

This is seriously once of the best messages that I've ever heard. Why are there not more people like this. Thank you for making the world a little better. Those 100 people that put a thumbs down have no heart..

Nothing ever touched my soul like Team Hoyt

My full Respect for Father and Son!

This made me cry :') my headteacher told me about this. It's so true that we don't know what we are capable of. We have no limits unless someone stops us from doing something. Give whatever you want to do in life a try and have a go because no one is stopping you :)

This guy is a saint. We would all be lucky to have a father like him.

Dear Rick and Dick, heroes like you are what the world needs today. Thank you so much.

Absolute legend. the most inspirational vid i'v ever seen.

easily one of the best videos i've ever seen. thank you, thank you Team Hoyt.

This man has raised the bar for me as a father, even from beyond the grave. My god. This has wrecked me. RIP DICK HOYT.

Dick Hoyt is a hero and an incredible father for me not question. RIP from Hungary

I'm not ashamed to say that I cried a hell of a lot during this video, seriously seriously inspiring!!! ='D

God Bless you Hoyt family! Your love, your determination and your commitment truly inspire me!

The 2 happinest men in the world: Dick and Rick Hoyt. Love you guys so much, father and son!

Your mind and will can move any mountain. This guy takes it a step further. A TRUE HERO and Inspiration !!!

Both men deserve a reward for their humanity.

You two make me know that when I don't want to get up in the morning or go to work or just about everything that has to happen but I don't want to do that all I have to do is think about you two and everything seems good. Both of you are heroes and the only thing that I wish was that I actually knew you personally. That is all I have to say.

I am a man and I can't swim a lap on my pool, run a block or bike a mile - let alone doing all that while carrying a person with me. I am a father and "I don't think" I can do half of the things Dick has done for his son. Dick, you are a true inspiration for mankind and a leading model of fatherhood. I will try to be like you - and I don't know if I will accomplish nearly 1/10th of what you have accomplished - but i will set you as a role model. Thanks man!

Dick Hoyt You Are Truly A Hero!!! I Guess Super Heroes Do Live On Earth!!!!

Just remember there’s hundreds of thousands of other stories just like this and then somewhere different even though they are the same you don’t have to be in a wheelchair they have a great man in or out of the wheelchair there’s hundreds of thousands of people I believe that are great people for their family.

Very moving story! It brought tears to my eyes everytime i watch this video.. Thanks Team Hoyt! Go Bruins! God bless.

TWO BEAUTIFUL MEN. This is an example of what real men look like. Love.

This a Father & Son that are all in! Make it a good day!

Remarkable courage and stamina. If most fathers had the same love for their children the world would be a better place. Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

This is amazing, I am truly happy there are men like Dick and Rick out there, and am saddened to hear of his passing. He has inspired so many, and he will never be forgotten.

I am crying like a little baby... This is amazing story about love. God bless You and Your Son!

They both are like angels on earth!!!God bless them both!

Any male can father a child, or give birth to a child, but it takes an amazing person to be a true Mom or Dad. This man is a true Dad.

Giant lump in my throat and happy tears. I used to watch these two run in the Boston marathon.

An incredible father, and an inspiration to us all.

Thank you, Dick Hoyt. You're an unbelievable example.

I wish I had a Dad like Rick. Man on man this video got me extremely emotional. What a wonderful Father Dick is towards his son Rick. This is truly inspiring.

RIP to both of these legends

I am a Iraqi Vet with some injuries but I dont let them beat me. This video juices me up so much to better myself and dont let my injuries hold me down. Hats off to Team Hoyt.

What an amazing story of dedication and love . This is what the world and happiness should really be about

this is absolute love! everyone needs such a dad!

You have brought a big man to his knees.you and your son is everything that is good in life .may god bless you and your great son.amen,must go cant type anymore.

This is real love of a father to his son so beautiful I cant stop crying when I watch it! Mr Hoyt your the man!

What an inpirational story... I'm gonna go and run now. May God continue to use Team Hoyt to inspire and bless millions.

Chokes me up EVERY time. What an amazing family and story.

this is inspirational, and i got teary eyed when i was done watching. the bond between these two people is amazing!

this video is just what i needed, i am humble of watching you guys you are so brave, you are so strong there is no bigger reason to go on than love, and you are the walking testimony of that. we've all been down, i have been down too, but watching this video has changed me, i feel strong once again, im inspired, ill never stop until i reach the top, i feel unbreakable, invincible i feel i have a race car motor inside my chest and i thank you guys for that, you rock, there should be + ppl like u
