Given is an acute angled triangle $ABC$ with orthocenter $H$ and circumcircle $k$. Let $\omega$ be the circle with diameter $AH$ and $P$ be the point of intersection of $\omega$ and $k$ other than $A$. Assume that $BP$ and $CP$ intersect $\omega$ for the second time at points $Q$ and $R$, respectively. If $D$ is the foot of the altitude from $A$ to $BC$ and $S$ is the point of the intersection of $\omega$ and $QD$, prove that $HR = HS$.
