               Glenn Cunningham (Athlete)




              Glenn Cunningham was born in Atlanta, Kansas, he was an athlete who had an accident in his school house, and His brother was named Floyd. He died in the accident. The reason the accident happened was because someone put gasoline instead of kerosene which was in the can at his school. His legs were badly burned, lost the flesh on his knees, and the toes on his left foot. The doctors had told him he may not be able to walk normally again. This was a miracle because he didn’t give up. He took therapy and started gaining his walking again, this helped him eventually learn how to walk again. After that he began to run. He began to enter in the Olympics he won metals and gave inspiration to others who struggle.
