When Marlon Shirley was five he lost his foot. Today he’s the world’s fastest amputee. He runs the hundred meters in less time than it takes to listen to this. Overcoming… Pass It On. This message is a courtesy of The Foundation for a Better Life at Pass It On.com.

I couldn't hear the whole sentence due to the music mix, now I see the words, thanks for this post and for sharing the success of this wonderful person and tribute to the medical/rehab team that made it possible for Martin to return to a normal and athletic life. How inspiring!
