"Get Inspired"... I did.

I thought this was Amazing!!! What spirit and love comes from serving others and giving all we have to those we love... This was sent to me from my sister in-law and so glad she did...This is a True Story - you will want to turn off my music on the bottom right before playing...

A son says to his father: 'Dad, would you be willing to run a marathon with me?'
The father, despite his age and a heart disease, says 'YES'.

And they run that marathon, together.

The son asks: 'Dad, can you run another marathon with me?' Again the father says 'YES'.
They run another marathon, together.

One day the son asks his father: Dad would you please do the 'Iron Man' with me?'
(Now just in case you don't know, the 'Iron Man' is the toughest
triathlon in existence; 2.4 mile swim, then 112 mile by bike, and finally another marathon 26.2 mile running, in one stroke)

Again the father says 'YES'

Maybe this doesn't 'touch' your heart yet .. until you see this movie (watch with sound!):
