Title: Inspirational video of the Month........
Post by: Mikekoz13 on July 31, 2008, 06:44:46 AM

Fellow Brothers and Sisters-

The following video is incredibly inspirational. The young man in the video asked his father to complete the Ironman triathlon with him. The father said yes. This video captures their time in the triathlon together.

At the end of the video, notice that they are the only ones crossing the finsh line very late but how many people are there to see this incredible father and son team. Also watch the son's reaction to finishing....... amazing.


I've been wanting to get off my fat ass and get in shape and the father in this video has single handedly inspired me to do just that...........

Thanks for sharing that!  I actually saw an clip of that at a Promise Keepers about a couple of years ago. It made me cry then and it still cried! But I does make me realize how fortunate I am!
