Father-son team defying the odds in triathlon get ultimate surprise

"CBS Mornings" lead national correspondent David Begnaud traveled back to Michigan to help pull off an epic surprise for the deserving duo ahead of Father's Day.

I'm absolutely sobbing. My father was a professional triathlete and competed for Team USA in the 2008 Beijing Worlds winning his age group. The Ironman mantra has been a part of our family's life forever. Kona was his favorite race to do and I have so many memories of his races. I'm so happy to see this. My father passed in 2017, he would have loved this story.

“I’m not a fan of swimming, biking or running, ” yet he does it all for his son. What an inspirational story! Happy Father’s Day.

Jeff and Johnny your rockin' it! Amazing story of REMOVING BOUNDARIES!!
YES!! It's takes people and programs. You show us with your determination how high we could all fly. Johnny, you got some dad man. My mom has CP, she rocked it too w/o fear. Although challenges remain in her elder years. Discipline will serve you well even after our parents are gone. You are determined, that will see you through. Trust me!

I’m crying . My cousin has CP too and I see her when I look at him. He’s been able to do so much and seems to have an amazing family that has supported him all the way.
This is what love can do.
