The listing, RUNNING FOR MY LIFE. A story about LOpez Lomong U.S olympic athlete has ended.

THIS BOOK IS IN EXCELENT CONDITION AND IS A GOOD READ.

THE INSPIRING TRUE STORY OF LOPEZ LOMONG, A SUDANESE " LOST BOY" WHO ACHIEVED HIS DREAM OF BEING AN AMERICAN CITIZEN AND OLYMPIC ATHLETE.
He was abducted. He was beaten. And he was nearly forced to become a boy soldier in his war-torn homeland,Sudan. But he escaped in the night, ran three days, and was taken into a refugee camp in Kenya. he never owned a pair of shoes. He never owned a pen and paper. and did schoolwork in the dust with his fingertips. His boyhood was the daily struggle of an orphan and each day he would run an 18 mile lap around the refugee camp just to pplay a game of soccer. In his wildest dreams, Lopez Lomong couldnt even concieve that nike would one day be his official sponser. that he would graduate from college and that he would respresent his new home and bear the american flag in the summer olympics.
Running for my life is Lopez Lomongs harrowing story of loss, overcoming, triumph and redemption. It is once-in-a-lifetime story of a Sudanese lost boy who became an american citizen and olympic athlete. His life is a powerful picture that we can overcome, that what seems out of reach is within our grasp if we'd believe and if we'd only try.
