Univ of Oregon runner with cerebral palsy offered pro contract by Nike

If you need a heart-warming, feel good story to counter all of the dark news in the world, watch this video. It might even bring a tear to your eyes.




Sports Illustrated @SInow

Justin Gallegos, a runner at Oregon with cerebral palsy, thought he was just finishing another cross country race. Little did he know, Nike was waiting at the finish line to offer him a pro contract


Congrats to Justin and the inspiration he shares with us all.
