This video clip tells the tale of father and son, Dick and Rick Hoyt. The son was apparently paralysed from neck down and could not move. However, the father did not want his son to give up on his life and kept on encouraging him. As an attempt to show his son the value of not giving up, he joined the triathlon with his son and managed to complete it. A triathlon is a sport competition that involves the need to run long distance, swim and cycle. During one marathon, along with his son, he completed the race only 35 minutes behind the winner. Total respect. It is really inspiring as it shows us not to give up even in the face of adversities. As Winston Churchill said when United Kingdom faced the Germans in World War 2, "Never, never give up"
