The Marathon

I just received this story and video in an e-mail. It is so touching and amazing. Read the story below first, then watch the video. Don't skip the story, and get your tissues. It definitely shows the committment of a parent, and what we will do for our children, regardless of their ages!

A son asked his father, 'Dad, will you take part in a marathon with me?' The father who, despite having a heart condition, says 'Yes'. They went on to complete the marathon together. Father and son went on to join other marathons, the father always saying 'Yes' to his son's request of going through the race together. One day, the son asked his father, 'Dad, let's join the Iron man together.'

To which, his father said 'Yes.'

For those who didn't know, Iron man is the toughest triathlon ever. The race encompasses three endurance events of a 2.4 mile (3.86 kilometer) ocean swim, followed by a 112 mile (180.2 kilometer) bike ride, and ending with a 26.2 mile (42.195 kilometer) marathon along the coast of the Big Island .

Father and son went on to complete the race together. View the video below...
