Strongest Dad in the World [From Sports Illustrated, By Rick Reilly] Eighty-five times he's pushed his disabled son, Rick, 26.2 miles in marathons. Eight times he's not only pushed him 26.2 miles in a wheelchair but also towed him 2.4 miles in a dinghy while swimming and pedaled him 112 miles in a seat on the handlebars--all in the same day. Very inspiring

I only found the details after viewing, wow.
Great dad, he was really pushing it hard, never slowing.

I recently finished a three month experience working with special need kids. I must say it was one of the best three months in 35 years of teaching. This dad is a role model for us all. You all can volunteer for the special olympics or at a near by school. They need all the help you spare.
