Wow, this is kinda neat. It's amazing enough to me when someone can successfully complete a triathlon or an Ironman...but can you imagine doing one while pushing someone in a wheelchair during the run part, pulling them in a dinghy during the swim part, and having them ride on your handlebars during the bike part? Check out the article here (yeah, the fact that there's a lot of capital letters where they're shouldn't be is kinda annoying, but try to get past that ;)) about what a father's love for his son can push him to do, and be sure to watch the video at the bottom (the background music is a Christian piece called "Imagine" or some such thing and is always nice to listen to on its own...and it makes a powerful statement when you think of it from the disabled man's perspective).
I sure hope the story is true. The video makes it look true, though I have no proof that's his dad pushing the chair/etc., or that he used to be a couch potato; still, it's pretty cool.
Edit: It is true! I checked it on Snopes! Snopes' article on it is here.
