I just found something that was really neat. It's about a dad who takes his disabled son with him in marathons and triathlons. Here is a page with a video and some info and here is their home page.
"[The] day [they raced for the first time] changed Rick's life. ``Dad,'' he typed, ``when we were running, It felt like I wasn't disabled anymore!''
And that sentence changed Dick's life. He became obsessed with giving Rick that feeling as often as he could. He got into such hard-belly Shape that he and Rick were ready to try the 1979 Boston Marathon."
