"When I’m racing people in high-level meets, they always think I’m an inspiration," Springfield High School junior, Jack Cunningham stated. "I think part of that is because they didn’t think I’d be here."That is because Cunningham was the lone survivor of a triple pregnancy. He was born premature, with a rare condition left him missing the fibula bone in both legs. He had a double amputation when he was a year old.His parents, Tim and Krista, said, "It was tough.
My parents wouldn’t allow it, so it wasn’t in my vocabulary when I was little. I think that helped me feel like I could do everything everyone else was doing."It was in the third grade that his love of running took off. "The moment I got running blades, my whole life changed. My goal when I first got them was to be the fastest kid in third grade and next year the fastest kid in fourth grade and so on and so forth. Now it’s just an honor to be able to run in the Penn Relays.
