KEEP ON KEEPING ON - LEARNING FROM GLENN CUNNINGHAM
He said, "I will not only walk again, I will run." While everyone is away from the home during the day, he would make his way to the fence and right there on the fence, he learnt to walk again. Glenn went beyond walking, he began to run. By the time he was 12 years, he had beaten all local high school runners, though his legs remained deeply scarred. In 1933, Cunningham graduated from the university with the highest academic records in his class.
That same year, he won the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) 800 meters with a time of 3 minutes 52.3 seconds. In addition, he won the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) mile for the second time with a time of 4 minutes 9.8 seconds and he later went on to win many laurels both in Europe and America. In 1943, Glenn Cunningham set a new world record. He ran the mile in 4 minutes 6.8
