Louie Zamperini - Runner

When Pete Zamperini first suggested that his brother Louie should try running - to provide some focus for his life - he could not have predicted how much his younger sibling would enjoy it.  Soon Louie was running everywhere, for the sheer joy of it.

Without even realizing that he was conditioning his body, Louie began to win races and break records.
