LFOD – Dennis Oehler, The Paralympic Superstar

Dennis Oehler recently visited our school and talked about how he got to be physically disabled. He got his leg amputated due to an accident that happened while driving. The blood circulation to his leg cut off so they had to amputate it. He thought that he wouldn’t be able to run again but he was shocked to see that he recovered and was able to use a prosthetic leg to run. He even set a world record in the Paralympic 100 meter race in 1998. And he will now be known as the Paralympic superstar!
