I first learned of Dick and Rick Hoyt about six years ago at a PK conference.
Today I felt like sharing their story with you, Team Voice.
I believe you will find it both moving and inspiring.

Thanks for sharing this Jeff.
Happy Easter!!!
Living on Cape Cod, I've been lucky enough to see these two race in the Falmouth 7.1. It is truly an inspiring sight. During Marathon Monday (Boston), there is always great coverage of them if they are in the race. I'm not afraid to say, it always brings a tear to my eye. Thanks for posting this Jeff!!
Jeff, read about them in Runner's World last year. Very inspiring. Makes me feel kind of embarrassed when I think about reasons for not getting out there and exercising. We should all be looking for reasons TO exercise, not for reasons NOT to exercise.
I too read about them in the Runner's World.
Thanks I needed that up. :)
