We can! Just imagine and do it! [Brian Lim, team B, 4th blogging]
In this blogging I want to introduce about one story. When I was in my American church,I heard this story from my American friend who was met in my community club. He introduced this story to me by showing one ‘youtube’ short music video. If you are reading this blogging, could you copy following web site address?

This is about that story introduced to me frome my friend. This music title is “I can only imagine”. I really like the first part piano sound in this song. When I saw this music video, I could not help crying. Because I can feel father’s mind a little. More detail, This is about one marathon team whose name is ‘Team Hoyt’. Team Hoyt is an inspirational story of a father, Dick Hoyt, and his son, Rick, who compete together in marathons and triathlons across the country. Rick was born in 1962 to Dick and Judy Hoyt. Rick was diagnosed as a spastic quadriplegic with cerebral palsy. So he could never use for his all life. Dick and Judy were advised to institutionalize Rick because there was no chance of him recovering. And they had just little hope for Rick to live a "normal" life. Someday, Rick suddenly told his father that he wanted to participate in a 5-mile benefit run. Far from being a long-distance runner, Dick agreed to push Rick in his wheelchair and they finished all 5 miles!! That night, Rick told his father, "Dad, when I'm running, it feels like I'm not handicapped." This realization was just the beginning. They completed over 1,000 races, including marathons, duathlons and triathlons. Also adding to their list of achievements, Dick and Rick biked and ran across the U.S., completing about 3,500 miles in 45 days. When I saw this music vedio and read this story, I believed that there is no impossible if we really want to do. We can! Just imagine and do it.
