This is quite possibly the most inspirational and touching thing I’ve ever seen in my life. It’s the story of Dick and Rick Hoyt, and words don’t do it justice so just watch the video.
And guys… don’t watch this around anyone you don’t want to see you weep. Trust me. And by the way, stop making excuses for not doing anything with your life!
Thanks for letting me know about the issue! I’ve updated the post a bit and replaced the video, so don’t miss it because I think it’s better than the first one. (And no religious overtones to offend anyone.)

And I don’t mean to take anything away from it, but I personally feel more inspired by Team Hoyt because these are people who were given every possible excuse to fail, but simply refused to do so.
FYI…the first link to the “A Tribute to Team Hoyt” video is dead.
The second video is definitely very touching…I’ve seen some footage before on this. Shows how much love for his son he has…wish everyone was that lucky – the world would be a better place.

Anyone Can Make a Difference
First of all, I’m going to have to apologize for the fact that this video starts automatically. I tried to fix that, but couldn’t get the code to work properly. If anyone knows how to fix it I’m all ears…
Anyway, this is a very inspirational little video that is appropriate for a wide...
World’s Fastest Para-Olympian Swimmer Has No Arms!
As I’ve often noted, disabilities have no bearing on how much a person can achieve in life. Take for example Igor Plotnikov’s world record breaking 32.52 in the 50m butterfly at the Para-Olympics.
Now, if someone were to ask how you thought a swimmer without arms would do in a contest against athletes...

Pretty moving, but the Jesus background music was unnecessary. I found the Free Hugs movie even more touching.
PS: The link for part two is now broken.
Dan,
