Glenn Cunningham

Glenn was born in Atlanta, Kansas but he grew up in Elkhart, Kansas he was born on August 4, 1909 and he died on March 10, 1988 at aged 78. He was a tall guy he was 5`0 and he weights154 lbs. Glenn was badly burned because someone put gasoline instead of kerosene in the can at his schoolhouse by accident so he got very injured and so badly that he had no blood in his knees so he might not walk the same and he lost all the toes on his left foot. Glenn had a brother named Floyd he was thirteen and he had died from this tragedy. Glenn had a positive attitude after two years he finally understood when he read this on this bible “"But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint”. Glenn accomplished in both 1032 summer Olympics as well as the 1936 summer Olympics he was the person who everyone would called him “Elkhart Express” “Iron Horse of Kansas” Glenn sat records all over that no one will beat.
