Glenn Cunningham
Glenn Cunningham competing for KU circa 1933.jpg

Glenn was 8 years old when someone burned his school down. the fire took his brother with it. Glenn was severely burned. he was missing alot of flesh on his legs but he refused to amputate. he was receiving a new type of therapy so he could walk again. two years later, Glenn was running. he was honored best amateur athlete in America in 1933. unfortunately Glenn died without achieving his life goal of a mile in 4 minutes. he left behind 10 kids and a park named after him. i can relate to him because i try my hardest to achieve good grades. i have to go above and beyond even when people dont believe in me.
