Need Some Inspiration....?

This amazing video was sent to me today by a fellow teacher. I then put it up on the big screen for Room 5 to view it - what a reaction...absolute stunned silence. Read the article below first and then click the youtube link.
The Story

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, let's join the Ironman together.' To which, his father said 'yes' too.

For those who don't know, the Ironman is the toughest triathlon ever. The race encompasses three endurance events of a 2.4 mile (3.86 kilometers)
ocean swim, followed by a 112 mile (180.2 kilometers) bike ride, and
ending with a 26.2 mile (42...195 kilometers) marathon along the coast of the Big Island .

The father and son went on to complete the race together.

NOW WATCH THIS VIDEO and view this race: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJMbk9dtpdY
