Glenn Cunningham 

What a man this boy turned out to be and what heart he had. He had the will and courage to go on with his life. He lost his brother in an explosion and got third degree burns. He did not want to be a vegetable and irrelevant in the family so he did what he always wanted to do again. He started walking again and little by little he started to do other things. After the incident with the fire he sought out to become a doctor and becoming a Olympic runner. He did so int the end as Glenn ran in the 1932 Los Angeles and in the 1936 Berlin Olympics, as he had dreamed as a boy.  He won Silver in the 1500 meter race in Berlin. This is what is takes to have heart ladies and gentlemen.
