Fauja Singh Keeps Going, by Simran Jeet Singh
Every step forward is a victory. Fauja Singh (1911--) was born determined. He was also born with legs that wouldn’t allow him to play cricket with his friends or carry him to school miles from his village in Punjab. But that didn’t stop him. Working on his family’s farm, Fauja grew stronger to meet his own full potential. He never stopped striving. At the age of 81, after a lifetime of making his body, mind, and heart stronger, Fauja decided to run his first marathon. He went on to break records all around the world and became the first person over 100 to complete the grueling long-distance race. This true story reminds us that it’s both where we start and how we finish that make our journeys unforgettable.
