Team Hoyt - A very touching story about a father and his son

A son asked his father, Dad, will you take part in a marathon with me? The father, who despite having a heart condition, said Yes. They went on to complete the marathon together. Father and son went on to join other marathons, the father always saying Yes to his son's request of going through the race together. One day, the son asked his father, Dad, lets join the Ironman together. To which, his father said Yes too.
