Quote of the week:
“My whole purpose in life is to inspire
others. I hope everyone can take the
lesson that you can succeed if you put
your mind to it.” – Aries Merritt
Aries Merritt is no stranger to clearing hurdles
both on and off the track. He holds the world
record for 110m hurdles (12.80s) and was the 2012
Olympic Champion. Merritt underwent kidney
transplant in 2015, just days after winning a
bronze at the 2015 World Championships. The
world record holder is back on track, having made
the finals of the 2017 World Championships in the
very stadium he was crowned Olympic champion.

succeed if you persevere; and you will
find a joy in overcoming obstacles.
Remember, no effort that we make to
attain something beautiful is ever lost.”
– Hellen Keller
