\u201cDon't tell me I can't do it. Tell me what I have to do so I can do it.\u201d \u2013 Dick Hoyt

It\u2019s possible to achieve incredible things in life simply by making up your mind. In this special episode from the Buffini & Company vaults, Brian interviews trailblazing athlete Dick Hoyt, who recently passed away. Dick shares how his son, Rick, born a quadriplegic and unable to speak or control his limbs, told him he wanted to participate in a 5-mile benefit run for a lacrosse player who had been paralyzed in an accident. From that first race, when Dick pushed Rick in his wheelchair and his son confided how he didn\u2019t feel disabled when they ran together, they went on to complete over 1,000 races, including marathons, duathlons and triathlons.\xa0Topics discussed include: How their running journey evolved, how they broke new ground and barriers together and how they overcame the criticism and negativity they encountered.
