World's Strongest Dad

A son asked his father, "Dad, will you take part in a marathon with me?" The father who despite having a heart disease, said, "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 us join the Iron Man together; to which his father said, "Yes", too. For those who don't know, Iron Man is the toughest triathlon ever. The race consists of three endurance events of a 2.4 miles (3.86 kilometers) ocean swim followed by a 112 miles (180.2 kilometers) bike ride and ending with a 26.2 miles (42.195 kilometers) marathon along the coast of the Big Island. Father and son went on to complete the race together.

The story look simple and maybe just an ordinary story for some of you but NOT until you watch this very touching and inspirational video of father competing in a triathlon with his disabled son. This brought tears to my eyes :-(. IMHO, we can NEVER measure a father's love.




P.s: Kudos to my friend Beatrice C. for posting this video on Facebook.
