Powerful Inspirational true story...Don't give up!

When you don't give up..You cannot fail!!
I want to say a BIG thank you to 'everyone' who has commented on the inspiration that they've received from this video. When I put this video together I was following my heart to inspire 'Whoever' might be discouraged to... "Not Give Up!"
However, I have received the most from this posting,
Life has a strange way of supporting us in our time of need. I did not know when I posted this video that 'exactly a year to the day' my daughter would die in a tragic car accident and that my spirit would be fed from the countless strangers who have directly (or indirectly) motivated me to continue forward.
May we all spread the message of hope "Don't Give Up"!

Warmest wishes,
Connie Lynne

well i cant remember who won that race tbh (it was an american i think) but ill always remember derek redmond and what he did that day, so yeh he may have lost the race but he won at life and his actions inspired millions of people and continue to do so to this day.

I loved this so much, and I cried through the whole video.

Wow, very powerful message. As I posted when I shared this on facebook: Failure is never an option when you keep your eyes on the prize...

I remember the race like it was yesterday. I'd quit athletics the previous year due to a similar injury and I knew Derek from the racing circuit. I notice a lot of comments about him crying - to put it in context to get such a serious injury when you're at the top of your game, at peak fitness, you know your career is over. Everything you've worked for the past 8+ years is in tatters. He never competed after Barcelona.
