Cunningham's legs were very badly burned in a schoolhouse fire when he was eight. Floyd, his brother died in the schoolhouse. The doctors recommended amputating Glenn's legs, but his mother wouldn't allow it. The doctors predicted he might never walk normally again. He had lost all flesh on his knees ands shins and all his toes on his left foot. Also, his transverse arch was practically destroyed. However, his great determination led him to gradually regain the ability to walk, and proceed to run. It was in the early summer of 1919 when he first tried to walk again, roughly two years since the accident. He was a great man with a positive attitude. He was also a good role model for everybody. He married bill hoffman on 1935 they had 3 kids.
