Glenn Cunningham-Have Heart

Crippled Glenn Cunningham Became an Olympian and Doctor

Reflection: Glenn Cunningham lost his older brother in an explosion at age seven. He was legs were seriously burned during this incident. While in the hospital the doctor had told his mother that he may never walk again. Glenn choose not to believe that so he told his mother that he will walk again, which brought tears in her eyes. So during his hard work of doing the impossible, Glenn began to walk again in about 22 months later. He wanted to pursue his dream as becoming to be in the Olympics. In 1936 he got a silver medal in the World Olympics Games in Berlin. Glenn did achieve another goal which was to become a doctor. Glenn Cunningham is inspirational because he did not give up.
