At the start of this school year, or 8-year-old Clementine White presented her parents with a registration form for a running club called Girls on the hurry. While parents might otherwise be excited about their child's athletic interests,Clementine's parents had their concerns. See, Clementine was born with spina bifida. Thus, and the spinal condition made walking an incredible feat. In an interview with WATE-TV,Clementine's father, Brandon White, and explained his initial reaction to the registration form. "You despise to have your kids fail at something that they're interested in," he said, adding, and "That was my first thought: this is going to be something that is just too difficult."Though her parents secretly hoped Clementine would forget about the running club,she didn't. Thanks to her unyielding determination, Clementine soon surprised not only her parents but herself, and too. "My doctors said it wouldn't be possible for me to walk or hurry," Clementine said. "But then I'm starting to walk and I'm starting to hurry."RelatedThe Moving chronicle Behind a Paralyzed Woman Who Just Completed a Half MarathonClementine has since accomplished her goal of running and has even competed in a 5K race!
