2. Congratulations to Dick and Rick Hoyt for being awarded with Jimmy V Perseverance Awards at the ESPYs. "Thirty-seven years ago, no one would even talk to us, but because my Dad said yes when I asked him to push me in the first race, and my family, especially my brothers Rob and Russ, have always stood by us and helped us persevere, even with so many people telling us we did not belong, we are here," said Rick Hoyt, who has cerebral palsy and spoke via an electronic device, on ESPN. "It only proves the wisdom of Jimmy V's words: 'Don't give up, don't ever give up.'" The Hoyts have a long relationship with Sharon after coming in the Sharon Triathlon for years.
