Winners Never Quit!

A little girl - the 20th of 22 children, was born prematurely and her survival was doubtful.
When she was 4 years old, she contracted 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 on and began to walk without it.

.

By 13 she had developed a rhythmic walk, which doctors said 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 - Wilma Rudolph, went on to win three Olympic gold medals.

Winners never quit!
