Wilma Rudolph was the 20th of the 22 children. She was born prematurely and her survival was doubtful. When she was 4 years old, she was contacted double pneumonia and scarlet fever, which left her with a paralyzed left leg. At age 9, she removed the metal leg brace she had been dependent and begin to walk without it. By 13, she had developed a rhythmic walk, which doctors said it was a miracle. That same year she decided to become a runner. She entered a race and came in last. For the next few years every race she entered, she came in last. Everyone told her to quit, but she kept on running. One day she actually won a race. And then another. From then on she won every race she entered. Eventually this little girl, who was told she would never walk again, went on to win THREE Olympic gold medals.
A winner is not one who never fails, but one who NEVER QUITS!!
Winners never quit, Quitters never win
Hope you were blessed by the story!
God bless and have a great year!!
