Day 242 of 366: Video that captures an inspirational athlete: Derek Redmond, 1992 Olympics

I had heard the story of Derek Redmond’s 1992 Olympic run. I don’t think I had ever seen video of the event. At the Spring Lake Park district teacher welcome, Dr. Ronneberg played a video about Redmond. It inspired me and made me tear up. While I couldn’t find the exact video he played, the link below brings you to video of Derek Redmond’s courage to finish the race of a lifetime.
