Rick Hoyt was born unable to use his voice, arms or legs in 1962. Doctors advised his parents to send him away, but they chose to raise Rick themselves.
With great effort, Rick learned to write his thoughts with computer at the age of 12. One day in 1977, Rick told his father, Dick Hoyt, that he wanted to run in a 5-mile race to raise money to help a schoolmate. Though Dick never ran more than a mile at a time, he still tried. They completed (完成) the race with father pushing the wheelchair(轮椅), finishing next to last. But that changed Rick's life. "Dad, when we were running, I feel like I wasn't disabled anymore!"
And that sentence changed Dick. He continued to give Rick that feeling as often as possible. In 1980, he and Rick joined in Boston Marathon(马拉松) and together they completed 32 Boston Marathons, they also participated in more than 1,000 other races. In 1992 they completed a run and bike race across the US that covered 3,735 miles in 45 days.
In March 2021, Dick Hoyt passed away. In May 2023, Rick died. Rick, along with Dick, inspired(激励) millions of people with disabilities to believe in themselves, set goals and complete something unexpected.
