Chicago’s Michael McCarthy, a 14-year-old boy, was born without legs. He can’t walk on his own, but he has a strong heart. Not long ago, he climbed to the top of the Willis Tower. The Tower stands 1451 feet (442 meters) tall, the highest building in the US.
As he got to the last step, McCarthy almost fell down, but that didn’t stop him. He finally finished climbing the 2,109 steps and arrived at the top.
He has been in a sports school since he was 4. When he decided to climb the Willis Tower, his teacher, Jeff Kohn, was moved by him and offered to train him. They spent more than 10 hours practicing climbing every day. “It seems that he never feels tired. Sometimes, I was so tired that I asked him to stop,” said Kohn. “But he said he was not tired and wanted more exercise.”
McCarthy said he was proud of himself and that the Willis Tower now has a special meaning to him. “When I’m older, I’ll point to the building and say ‘Look at this building I climbed,’” he said.
