One of the world’s greatest runners was told he would never walk again. Glenn Cunningham grew up on a Kansas farm. Each morning he and his brother Floyd would run one mile to school. Their job was to light the stove that heated the room. One day the stove exploded, killing Floyd. Glenn’s legs were burned badly. Doctors thought he would never walk again, but his mother made him try. It took four long, painful years, but Glenn did walk again. Soon after, he began to run. Before he was done, Glenn became the world’s best in the one-mile run. Today Glenn Cunningham, the man who wouldn’t take “you’ll never walk” for an answer, is a model for those who believe in themselves.
