Bethany Hamilton

Team Hoyt

In the spring of 1977, Rick Hoyt (born with cerebral palsy)  told his father, Dick Hoyt, that he wanted to participate in a 5-mile benefit run for a lacrosse player who had been paralyzed in an accident. Dick agreed to push Rick in his wheelchair and they finished all 5 miles, coming in next to last. That night, Rick told his father, “Dad, when I’m running, it feels like I’m not disabled.” This inspired them to go on racing including marathons, iron man triathlons and more.

Debra Searle

In 2001 Derbra and her husband set out to row across the Atlantic Ocean. Early into the 3000 mile challenge her husband had to withdraw leaving Debra continue on the journey alone.
