The Running Dream is about a girl who loved to run, which made her love track very much. But on her way from a track meet a truck ran into the bus, a girl lost her life, while her and the rest of the team lived, but she then became a BK amputee. She wasn't able to run again. After what seemed like forever in the hospital she was able to go home, then the worst part, school. The whole town, especially the track team, wanted her to run again. Many fundraisers later, they finally raise over $20,000 for her prosthetic running leg. She can run again, but while hopping around she met a young lady with a disorder that put her in a wheelchair. Since she never felt the sensation to run she decided to train to push Rosa in a 10 mile marathon. Which meant pushing over a hundred pounds plus your weight for 10 miles, but she did it. The race made her believe that there is nothing she can't do. Just by training for that marathon, she is already getting back on track for racing in meets. "This race has made me believe that there's nothing I can't do. This is my new starting line."
