Inspiring Story

Everytime I hear this story I tear up. It is so inspiring and a great example of God's Love for His children! So amazing . . . giving of yourself!



A son asked his father, 'Dad, will you take part in a marathon with me?'
The father who, despite having a heart condition, 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's join the Ironman together.'
To which, his father said 'Yes' too.

For those who don't know, The Ironman Triathlon 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 .

God Bless You!
