Glenn Cunningham

     Glenn Cunningham was an American runner born in Kansas. At the age of eight Cunningham’s legs were badly burned because of an accidental car explosion. Cunningham’s legs were so badly burned that the doctor’s recommended amputating them, because they thought he would never recover, Cunningham’s parents didn't allow the doctors to amputate them. Even though Cunningham’s legs were completely destroyed he took therapy classes and after two years he was almost fully recovered!

Glenn’s story teaches us that there are times where we are going to doubt ourselves and ask why things happen to us, but we need to learn how to overcome these situations, even if no one believes in you, you have to believe in yourself. You need to keep trying to get back on your feet when you fall even though it might seem impossible you need to stay determined.
