Friday Flick: Dick and Rick Hoyt
Marathon Monday comes but once a year. It's a day of accomplishment, inspiration, and drunken disorderly behavior. There seems to be a calm in the storm no matter what category you fall into. The father and son team of Dick and Rick Hoyt continue to amaze us year after year. If we're watching on TV or Beacon Street there's something magical about that moment when they cross the finish line or enter the peripheral vision. Here's a six minute video to bring you into that moment usually shared in April and not August.
Thanks Margalit for reminding us about this video – August is just as good of a time to think of the Hoyt's as April. Also find the Today Show story appended to the video here.

The Hoyts delivered the guest address during my college graduation ceremonies back in the day, and the standing ovation was overwhelming. There really wasn't a dry eye in the place. These guys are amazing.
