What is the holistic approach to health find out from this inspirational duo.
Team Hoyt consists of a father and son team Dick Hoyt (65) and Rick Hoyt (44), from Massachusetts who compete together in marathons and grueling triathlons. Together they have climbed mountains, and trekked 3,735 miles across America. So what is so special about these two? When Rick was born his umbilical cord had wrapped around his neck cutting off his oxygen to the brain, Dick and his wife Judy there would be no hope for their child’s development. When Rick was 8 months old the doctors recommended that he should be put away because he would be a vegetable for the rest of his life. But despite doctors recommendation’s the couple brought Rick home determined to raise him as normally as possible.
When it was determined that Rick was just as intelligent as his other siblings his parents were determined to get him in to public school, but the school was against it, they thought since he couldn’t talk he wouldn’t be able to understand. Not true, after learning the alphabet, a group of engineers came to the rescue to build a communication device that Rick would be able to type letters using his head, the first time he used the communicator his parents were surprised at Rick’s first communication with them, not Hi mom or Hi dad, but Go Bruins. Realizing that Rick loved sports, the concept of Team Hoyt was conceived.

This is the passion and love that I have been talking about in my articles, this is what we need to dig down deep and find within ourselves. Quit wasting your lives worrying and stressing over the small stuff, and on the scope of things it’s all small stuff. No matter what happens you will survive it, you will learn from it, and everything will be alright. Have that love for others, some people think we only have this one life, if you are of that mindset then your situation is more critical. Quit wasting your lives slaving for others, selling your time for money. Your not getting anymore time, use it wisely, live everyday like it’s your last, love your kids, love your parents, love your mate, apologize don’t hold grudges, get off your duff and make your life happen and not sit back and let everyone else dictate what your life should be. Start your own business, Set goals, achieve them, Have a passion for life, screw depression, screw feeling sorry for myself, throw all of that in the garbage and say I am not going to let that control me anymore. And most of all have love and respect for yourself.
Dick is the body, Rick is the heart, together they run. Together has power! Don’t run alone!
What a powerful statement.
