As much as I look fine using crutches, everywhere I go there is some shadow of the Kipchumba who is not using crutches; the Kipchumba who uses his own legs to walk. Diagnosis confirmed that I was suffering from polio and there was nothing that could be done. I feel bad when parents ignorantly miss to take their children for immunisation because I know how important that jab is. I remember running and herding goats in my village at about the age of six until I became sick. They asked me what I was doing in the line and I replied that I wanted to be a soldier.
