Twinlab(R) Salutes Team Hoyt's 26th Boston Marathon
AMERICAN FORK, Utah-(Business Wire)-April 18, 2008 - Twinlab(R) Fuel, a division of leading international supplement manufacturer ISI Brands, is proud to salute Dick and Rick Hoyt as they run their 26th Boston Marathon on Monday, April 21.
It's a remarkable record of exertion — all the more so when you consider that Rick can't walk or talk. For the past twenty five years or more Dick, who is 65, has pushed and pulled his son across the country and over hundreds of finish lines. When Dick runs, Rick is in a wheelchair that Dick is pushing. When Dick cycles, Rick is in the seat-pod from his wheelchair, attached to the front of the bike. When Dick swims, Rick is in a small but heavy, firmly stabilized boat being pulled by Dick.
"Team Hoyt is a huge inspiration to us and anyone who has followed their accomplishments over the years," said Mark Fox, President of ISI Brands. "The fact that they've run this marathon even once is remarkable, much less 26 times. They've become an institution at this most storied of races."
Twinlab(R) representatives will be at the race to cheer on the Hoyts and the company will have a booth at the expo that precedes the event, sampling Endurance Fuel, Pure Fuel, TeaZen(TM) and TwinCal(TM).
"One of the things which makes Twinlab special is that we're more than just a sports nutrition or vitamin company," remarked Bruce Renick, Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing. "We have a wider perspective — we're about better health for everyone and our relationship with Team Hoyt is a perfect example of that fact."
