Glenn Cunningham
He was A american athlete who got in a tragic accident when he was only eight years old. his legs got real bad burned and he couldn't walked anymore. His parents did not wan't the doctors to amputating his legs. in the early 1919 is when he tried to start walking again. it was two years after the accident. He had a positive attitude as well as a a religious faith. his favorite bible verse was Isaiah 40:31 "but those who wait on the lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint." Cunningham goal-underachieve was a four minute mile. many people tried before and they failed. several theorist proclaimed it was impossible physiologically for humans. runners tried running steady and fast-paced the whole time. others tried going steady for the first half then give it all they had. Cunningham tried so many ways. his greatest success  was a strategy, developed from childhood, of running his fasts right from the beginning and then throughout  every race. They called him the "Kansas Flyer" reflection: i think this man was pretty brave because he never gave up, even though he had burned his legs really badly, and the doctors had told him that he wasn't going to be able to walk again. it's like some other people give up so quickly but he tried so hard for him to walk again after two years of his terrible accident. It is really incredible how he made it and did not give up. Even people had names for him he must of feel really proud of himself for making it till there when all that had happen
