Glenn Cunningham was an athlete that at the age of 8 experienced something horrible that marked his life forever. His legs were burned really bad in an explosion at his school. He lost all his toes on his left foot, had lost all flesh on his knees and shins. He was predicted to never walk again, but he didn’t give up. He fought each and every day, he didn’t stop trying until he was able to manage walking again. Two years after his accident, he made the attempt to try and walk again. He soon started competing in the summer Olympics and broke records.
