A True Saint or what!!!

[joe.lel]

I would like to share a nice story - a True story

A son asks his Father, " Dad, would you be willing to run a marathon with me? "

The Father, despite his age ( 66 I believe ) and Heart Disease says, " Yes! "

And they go to run that marathon together.

Soon after, the son asks again, " Dad, can you run another marathon with me? "

Again without hesitation, the Father says, " Yes! "

Again, they go and run that marathon together.

One day, the son asks, " Dad, will you do the Iron Man with me? "

Now for everyone who doesn't know, the Iron Man is the toughest, most grueling Triathalon in existence - 4km swimming followed by 180km by bike and then another 42km running - ALL IN ONE GO!!

Once again, the father says, " Yes! "

Now maybe this doesn't quite touch your hearts yet but click on the link below and see it for yourself ( turn your sound up ) :

Watch it all the way through!
