I want to set an example that will never be forgotten.

Dreams are made possible if you try.

I bet some of you feel sorry for me. Well don’t. Having an artificial leg has its advantages. I’ve broken my right knee many times and it doesn’t hurt a bit.

I do what I do for the people who believe in me, not for the jerks who don’t.

I know that you can do the impossible.

I’m not doing the run to become rich or famous.
