① When I was 30 years old, I became a member of HALO, a volunteer group that removes landmines in old war areas. I think this decision was influenced by my parents. They did a variety of volunteer activities when I was young. I was born in 1962 in a village near Salisbury, England. My father was a farmer, and I planned to become a farmer, too. After I graduated from an agricultural college, however, I changed my mind and decided to serve in the military. When the Berlin Wall was torn down in 1989, I resigned from the military and started working for a finance company. I was quite successful at my job, and got a high salary. But something was missing in my life. I had no purpose. I began to believe that doing something to help others was much more important than living only for myself. Then I read about HALO. I decided to join. At first, they taught me how to remove landmines. Later, I was sent to Cambodia and then to Mozambique. (176 words) ② March 7, 1995 Northern Mozambique There are over 100 million landmines in the world. Every day, 70 people step on landmines and are injured or lose their lives. I strongly felt that the work I was doing was worthwhile. One day, a young man was killed while removing a landmine in Mozambique. The next day, I was checking how such a tragic accident could occur. The sun was high in the sky and it was very hot. The job required a lot of careful, patient work. It was no wonder that I felt very weak. Too much sun, I thought. I needed to rest somewhere. I took three steps back along the path. On my third step, “Bang!” My body was thrown up in the air, and then fell hard against the ground. Everything was quiet. I was lying on my stomach. I tried to raise my right arm but it wouldn’t move. It was badly injured. I looked down at my right leg. It was gone from the knee down. (171 words) ③ April 1995 London I couldn’t believe I survived the accident. But sometimes I thought, “Dying might be the easiest thing to do.” In a hospital in South Africa, my right arm was cut off below the elbow. Later, I was moved to a hospital in London. I started learning to use an artificial arm. I was soon able to use a computer and do simple things. However, my main challenge was how to walk with an artificial leg. It was quite difficult and painful. I felt irritated and depressed. I wanted to leave the hospital as soon as possible. One Sunday I saw the London Marathon on TV. To win was the only goal of the runners. Suddenly I realized that it is very important to have clear goals. I decided to run in the London Marathon the following year. I slept soundly that night. Later, the mass media heard about my plan. The marathon became a charity event to make money for landmine victims in Cambodia. (167 words) ④ April 14, 1996 The London Marathon The day came. My first marathon was going fairly smoothly. But when I reached the 29th kilometer, my back hurt and I was bleeding between my knee and the artificial leg. Yet I was quite happy that I was able to finish the marathon in 5 hours, 29 minutes. From then on I ran in other marathons around the world. In every country I ran in, people lined the streets and cheered me on. All this helped to increase interest in the anti-landmine movement. In 1997, I got some great news. The International Campaign for Banning Landmines won the Nobel Peace Prize. Also an official of the 1998 Nagano Olympics asked me if I would carry the torch at the opening ceremony. I accepted with pleasure. As I entered the stadium, the children started dancing happily around me. I was so thrilled, but they reminded me of the many children I knew with one or no legs --- victims of landmine accidents. I hoped they were watching on TV, and that they knew I was running for them.
