Harriet May Savitz

Run, Don't Walk Harriet May Savitz

The last thing Samantha wanted when she entered Scot High School was to be noticed. On the other hand, Johnny Jay, another wheelchair student at Scot, was a fighter, battling to obtain accessible school washrooms for the both of them. To Johnnys consternation, Sam refuses to help in his cause. To Sams astonishment, the marathon committee refuses her entrance in a 26-mile marathon because of her wheelchair. It was only then that she began to see the frustrations Johnny felt. She was rudely bolted out of her dream world and into action.
