You decide to do
In the small rural school was a very old fashioned coal stove. A little boy was assigned the task of arriving at school early each day to light the fire and warm the room before the arrival of her teacher and classmates.
Somehow, much to the surprise of the doctor, survived.One morning they arrived to find the schoolhouse engulfed in flames. They dragged the unconscious child, more dead than alive from the building. He had severe burns on the lower half of his body and was rushed to hospital in the county.
In his bed the dreadfully burned, semi child unconscious, I heard the doctor talking to his mother. She said that her son would die probably was best that could happen, really - because the fire had destroyed the lower part of his body.
But the brave boy did not want to die. She decided she would survive.

But the brave boy did not want to die. She decided she would survive.
Once past the danger of death, he heard his mother speaking quietly and the physician. Since the fire had greatly damaged the lower limbs of his body, the doctor told the mother, would have been much better if I died, as he was sentenced to be invalid all his life without the possibility of using their legs.
Once more the brave boy made a decision. It would be an invalid.
Walk. But unfortunately, from the waist down, had no motor ability. His thin legs just dangled lifeless.
Finally, he was discharged.
Every day, his mother would massage his legs, but there was no feeling, no control, nothing.
However, their determination to proceed was stronger than ever.
When he was in bed, was confined to a wheelchair.
A sunny day his mother took him to the yard to get some fresh air.
This day, instead of sitting there, he fell off the chair. He pulled himself across the grass, dragging his legs

He came to the white fence posts that surrounded the garden of his house. With great effort, climbed the fence. There, post by post, began advancing on the fence, decided to walk.
He began to do the same thing every day until he made a small mark next to the fence. Wanted nothing more than to give life to those legs.

Finally, thanks to the fervent prayers of his mother and his daily massages, his iron persistence and his resolute determination, developed the capacity, first to stop, then walk unsteadily and finally walk alone and then run. He started walking to school, then running for the simple pleasure of running. Later, in college, was part of the race team on track.
And even then, at Madison Square Garden this young man who had no hope of surviving, never walk, she would never have the chance to run, this determined young man, Glenn Cunningham, became the American athlete who ran the mile fast the world!

He was second in the 1936 Olympic 1 500, and two weeks later, reached another record in 800 meters planetarium with his 1:49.7.And even then, at Madison Square Garden this young man who had no hope of surviving, never walk, she would never have the chance to run, this determined young man, Glenn Cunningham, became the American athlete who ran the mile fast the world!
Years later, now retired, and his wife established a charitable foundation with which helped thousands of children with problems. He died on 10 March 1988 aged 78.
