Nothing could stop this man after suffering serious burns on his legs at the age of eight. Glenn Cunningham was given up by doctors who believed he would be a hopeless disabled man to spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair. “He will never be able to walk again,” they said, “no chance.”

The doctors examined his legs, but they had no way of looking into Glenn’s heart. He didn’t listen to the doctors and set out to walk again. Lying in bed, his thin, red legs covered with scar tissue (瘢痕组织), Glenn promised, “Next week, I’m going to get out of bed. I’m going to walk.” And he did just that.

His mother told how she used to look out of the windows to watch Glenn reach up and take hold of an old plow(犁) in the yard. With a hand on each handle (把手), he began to make his hurt legs function (起作用). And with every step of pain, he came closer to walking. Soon he began to run slower, before long he was running. When he started to run, he became even more determined(坚决的).

“I always believed that I could walk, and I did. Now I’m going to run faster than ever.” And so he did. He became a great runner who, in 1934, set the world record of 4’06’’ in one-mile race. He was honored as the outstanding athlete of the century at Madison Square Garden.
